It's a standard plot and, despite the combined talents of cast and director, this is no more than a standard comedy. Full Review

Garbo's last film, graced by some charming scenes and directed with Cukor's usual flair, but hardly sending her off in a blaze of glory.

Rating: 2/4 -- The final film is today still a watchable comedy, but it turns Garbo into something she's not. Full Review

This is a clumsy, lazy film, which reminded me all too painfully of some of our modern-day clumsy, lazy romantic comedies. Full Review

Had the script writers and the director, George Cukor, entered into the spirit of the thing with as much enthusiasm, lack of self-consciousness and abandon as the star, the result would have been a smash hit. Full Review

I still wouldn't hold it up as a sterling example of American wit, but it has its moments, and Garbo does a hell of a rhumba. Full Review

Just an average romance comedy that hasn't changed the face of the genre, but isn't the waste of time the reviews deemed it as at the time... Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Larry Blake (Melvyn Douglas) is growing a bit blase about his outdoorsy bride Karin (Greta Garbo). So Karin masquerades as her temptress twin, suggestively purring "I'm partial to the indoor life" in a bid to pique her husband's romantic attention - and the sophisticated fun begins! Viewers willing to suspend their disbelief (who could weary of Garbo?) are in for a double dose of the divine in the great star's final film, a romantic comedy that reunites her with her Ninotchka leading man Douglas and Camille director George Cukor. Exquisitely gowned, Garbo is obviously having a ball as the faux femme fatale, especially in a sexy south-of-the-border dance sequence that's a lot more Latin Bombshell than Swedish Sphinx.

Product Description:

Silent-screen diva Greta Garbo stars in this lighthearted comedy about mistaken identity in her 27th, and last, film. Excellent bits of farce pepper the film, which has often been criticized for miscasting Garbo in a comedy in order to make her accessible to American audiences; MGM's publicity machine clamored that their star played a dual role, swam, skiied, and even wrestled. Garbo did all that as Karin Borg, a ski instructor who gives lessons to gentlemanly playboy Larry Blake (Melvyn Douglas) and ends up marrying him. Soon after, however, she realizes that he has a sophisticated mistress of long-standing; becoming fearful that he will stray again, Karin devises a plan to keep him. The film had a hard time with the morality censors who criticized its attitudes toward marriage.
