NINOTCHKA
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Filmed in 1939 (how many great movies were made in 1939?), this Ernst Lubitsch film allowed Greta Garbo to show off her comic side, and to great effect. She plays a super-serious Russian commie, whose views of everything in the Western world are shaped by disbelief and disdain – until, at long last, she warms to the city of Paris and a charming Count, played by Melvyn Douglas. The movie still works, and Garbo’s screen presence still glows.
