The great Greta Garbo stars as a cold and repressed Russian agent on a diplomatic mission to Paris. Eventually, she gives in to the freedom of Paris, the free-flowing champagne, and the irresistible charm of a romantic playboy (Melvyn Douglas).

"A literate and knowingly directed satire which lands many a shrewd crack on the funny bone."

- TIME

"Garbo brings distinction as well as her incredible throaty, sensual abandon to the role of a glum, scientifically-trained Bolshevik."

- Pauline Kael, KISS, KISS, BANG BANG
