    Fun dance numbers with Astaire and Charisse. Somewhat of a soft core propaganda piece against the Soviet Union.

    I like Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse, but I felt that Garbo's "Ninotchka" was much better.
  • February 14, 2008
    Interesting adaptation of "Ninotchka" with Astaire and Charisse (who plays Garbo's role). Dance numbers are very good, and some of the humor from the original is still there.

    Great dancing, Cyd is an amazing dancer. Fred is getting old but still agile!
