Silk Stockings

Directed by Rouben Mamoulian

With Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Janis Paige, Peter Lorre and George Tobias

After three bumbling Soviet agents fail in their mission to retrieve a straying Soviet composer from Paris, the beautiful, ultra-serious Ninotchka is sent to complete their mission and to retrieve them. She starts out condemning the decadent West, but gradually falls under its spell—with the help of an American movie producer. A remake of Ninotchka (1939).
