Which 1939 romantic comedy set in Stalinist Russia starred Greta Garbo and was marketed with the tagline "Garbo Laughs"?
Answer Ninotchka
Ninotchka was Greta Garbo's second-to-last film, as well as her first full-fledged comedy - a marketing opportunity not lost on MGM. Notoriously reclusive and poker-faced, the celebrated actress had earned the nickname the 'Swedish Sphynx.' Not known for her toothy grin, the fact of her accepting a comic role was big news indeed - hence the newspaper headline-like slogan "Garbo Laughs." The tagline also played off the earlier slogan "Garbo Talks!" that was used to tout the actress's first talkie, Anna Christie (1930).
