i have never understand the appeal of garbo . she always come across in her film a stick up and not all that allure and and that annoy voice that could have drown out the tuba section . she be also a very limited actress and like gloria swanson far good off left in the silent era . in this her last film and her performance be very average and even unassured . she try hard but it all come to nothing because the script be even bad than her acting . a would be screwball romcom that be never once believable and never get off the ground ( even though melvyn douglas manage to get airborne in the skiing scene and which be really the only amusing thing here ) . there be potential but the script fail in almost every department and waste every actor in it . douglas and garbo have good enough chemistry together but this one isn not even a spot on ninotchka and which i also find to be extremely overrate .
