Marguerite's character, it must be noted, has been bitterly wounded and disappointed, and she has lost all faith in being in love. She's been hurt, so she hides behind a cool facade and won't allow anyone near her. Armand's sincere adoration eventually wins her over, and she confesses to him later, "Never doubt that I love you more than the world." The cool facade is finally broken, and she allows herself once more to fall deeply in love. I believe this film is definitely Garbo's best, although Queen Christina is an amazing film also - especially the scene at the inn with John Gilbert, and the closeup of her on the ship at the very end. If you're into comedy, Ninotchka is a delight from start to finish.

wI love all her films. Queen Christina (1933) is my favorite along with the this film, and Woman of Affairs (!928) which is a silent.
Written by the son of the great French author.
