According to the CEI calendar, Ninotchka opened on this date in 1939. A wonderful anti-Soviet film with Greta Garbo. Here is the Wiki entry.
Ninotchka is a 1939 American film made for Metro Goldwyn Mayer by producer and director Ernst Lubitsch which stars Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas. Ninotchka is Greta Garbo‘s first full comedy, and her penultimate film. It is one of the first American movies which, under cover of humorous light romance, deliberately criticizes the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin.
It depicts the Soviet system as rigid and gray, comparing it to the
free and sunny Parisian society. The persona of the title character may
have been based on that of the female Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai, a Soviet diplomat with unconventional views on sexuality that are echoed in one scene of the film.
