Featuring the incomparable Greta Garbo in a rare comedic performance – with posters at the time proclaiming “Garbo LAUGHS” – NINOTCHKA (1939) was ranked by the American Film Institute among the art form’s greatest comedies and love stories. Directed by Ernst Lubitsch, the film was co-written by AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Billy Wilder – and Garbo is enshrined by AFI as one of cinema’s greatest screen legends.
