#Bales2023FilmChallenge July 1: A #joke for #InternationalJokeDay

The great Garbo was known for her beauty, her coolness, her tragedy, everything but her laughter. So typecast she became that the tagline for *Ninotchka* (1939) – Garbo laughs! – is a #joke in itself.

Penned by the great #BillyWilder, the Ernst #Lubitsch directed comedy unexpectedly revived #Garbo's career, who by the time 1938 came around had become box office poison.
