| Notes |
NINOTCHKA, which premiered in Hollywood on October 6, 1939, was the first film produced for MGM by Ernst Lubitsch.
NINOTCHKA was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1990.
The
picture was advertised as the film where "Garbo Laughs!", recalling the
"Garbo Talks!" campaign of ANNA CHRISTIE. But, according to a 1980
Hollywood Reporter item, Garbo's laugh had to be dubbed in, as she
"couldn't summon up more than a somber chuckle." Ernst Lubitsch was
quoted as saying that Garbo was the "most inhibited person [he had]
ever worked with." He claimed that she was highly embarrassed to act
drunk in a restaurant filled with extras.
A
New York Times article claims that MGM changed the setting of the film
from Moscow to Paris, in order to avoid showing any depiction of living
conditions in Russia, whether they be "pleasant or deplorable."
Cary
Grant was MGM's first choice for male lead, and William Powell was a
consideration as late as a week before production. But the cameras
started rolling without a leading man. Melvyn Douglas was finally cast
as Count Leon d'Algout.
NINOTCHKA created
an uproar in the Soviet Union. As late as the 1950s, Soviet authorities
were threatening a Vienna theater to force it to stop running the film.
A misunderstanding occurred when a letter
was sent from the Soviets to Italian government officials in Rome
demanding that NINOTCHKA be pulled from Italian theaters. The office
was without a translator at the time and mistook the note for
correspondence regarding the Soviet proposal for major political
negotiations.
