erroll f 09/09/2024 This is a good romcom as long as Garbo is in the scene. As with most great actors her eyes Are magnets! Although many reviewers didn’t like the final skiing scene I thought it was terrific . Garbo fan should see this one. It turned out to be her last in spite of still being in her 30s. See more Blu B 01/11/2024 This is Garbo's last and most infamous picture but really it's not close to a train wreck at all. It's biggest sin is that as a comedy it's A) Not that Funny and B) Very Forgettable more than it is terrible. After the first 10 minutes once Garbo takes on her alter ego it's weird and sudden how Douglas and her just have almost no chemistry whatsoever. The first ten they did and in other stuff they were amazing but it seems to be because the script just goes off the rails once the ego comes in and Garbo comes across more as stupid and random than clever or witty like in Ninotchka. The plot makes sense and isn't convuluted but it just takes random twists and turns that don't make sense and come out of nowhere. Why does Douglas love her "sister" when they clearly have no chemistry at all? Why does he change his mind 3 times in the beginning to stay or go randomly? Why does Garbo carry this farce so far and not seem to care? There are a couple funny moments but few and far in between. Most of it tries to rely on the wittiness of the plot and it just isn't there really. It is more entertaining than anything because it's almost so bad its good in the middle with how crazy things get. But the acting just isn't there to send it over the top enough. The music also needed to be used more because this can get dry in certain parts but when it is used it's not bad. the Mexican dance number was suprsingly catchy but random. The end ski scene was the weakest part also and isn't shot well and not funny really. Skip this. There really isn't anything here. It's just forgettable rather than a train wreck.

W 12/17/2019 Garbo was no good to play romantic role, simply not feminine enough. this is a good example with good male lead and good director. See more 07/08/2019 Garbo looks great in this stylish but insultingly dumb and dull comedy. See more 06/22/2012 So many reviews had me expecting a complete bomb, which it isn't. Cutting out 5-10 minutes could have made it a delightful screwball romp (cutting that all-too-long skiing sequence at the end would be a start) while adding another 10-15 minutes with serious revision and rewrites for character development could have given us a somewhat sophisticated romcom. Garbo seems to be enjoying herself, it helps that she and Douglas shimmer together. Bennett turns on the camp, at which she excels delightfully. See more Read all reviews
