Trivia:
Garbo had her misgivings about appearing in a comedy and was particularly nervous about the drunk scene, which she considered to be highly vulgar.
more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the telegram/kissing scene, Iranoff refers to Bela Lugosi's Russian Commissar Razinin's name as Razin while Leon and Kopalski refer to it as Razinni, a distinctly Italian name. When it is mentioned again at the train station by Ninotchka, she again mistakenly pronounces it as Razinni. It isn't until later in the film that the correct pronunciation is used.

A GREAT FILM CLASSIC!, 30 January 2003
Author:
whpratt1 from United States
Ninotchka is a great film classic with great acting by Melvyn Douglas, who
really supports Greta Garbo.Garbo is an actress with class and great
abilities not found in movie stars today, she was ahead of her times, deep
and spiritual. Her supporting actors, Sig Ruman used every expression he
could to portray a fumbling Russian and Bela Lugosi showed the movie
industry that he had great acting abilities he was never given a chance show
to his many fans.This film shows aspiring actors just how to perform to the highest level of
their art.
