Ninotchka (1939)

I was under the completely wrong impression when I watched this movie. I thought it was a dark drama, probably with a sad ending. That was all easily flipped upside down in the first few minutes, which made me smile several times. Although the movie does get bogged down with overly emotional romantic drama at the end, overall this movie is delightful, cheerfully accepting the most ridiculous aspects of stories about falling in love. Charming. 3.5 stars.

Flickchart: #636 out of 1869, below Elf and above The Reader.
