Special Guest: Joseph McBrideGuest Co-Hosts: Otto Bruno, Robert Bellissimo
Otto Bruno and Robert Bellissimo join Mike to look at Ernst Lubitsch's 1939 film, Ninotchka. Written by Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder, Walter Reisch, and based loosely on a story by Melchior Lengyel, the film stars Greta Garbo as the titular Ninotchka, a stern Soviet sent to Paris to supervise the sale of jewels seized from a Russian noblewoman, Grand Duchess Swana (Ina Claire).
Professor Joseph McBride -- author of How Did Lubitsch Do It? and Billy Wilder: Dancing on the Edge -- talks about these two talented men and what happened when they worked together.
