I don't know how you get this idea. This is not a pro- or anti-communist movie. It is a comedy with a message, presently lightly not heavily, that we should all keep open minds and not put ideas, people, or situations into easy slots or pre-conceived notions. I see it in part as very similar to "Ninotchka," with the genders reversed (the loyal and somewhat naive Soviet apparatchik is a man, and the nonchalant, likable Westerner is a woman (Laurence Olivier and Penelope Dudley Ward, respectively, vs. Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas in "Ninotchka"). I wonder if Abb401 is kidding, or "having us on" as the English would say.[[User:Maccb|Maccb]] ([[User talk:Maccb|talk]]) 02:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== British film, not American ==

This is a British film, not American, so why the statement that it is "a 1943 comedy film made by Two Cities Films and distributed in the U.S. by Universal Pictures"? Do Americans have to take credit for everything?[[Special:Contributions/101.98.188.150|101.98.188.150]] ([[User talk:101.98.188.150|talk]]) 02:15, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Political Film?

I just saw this movie and i believe it is a film to promote communism, what do you guys think should this be classed as a film that has underlying political motives othen then a romantic comedy film.--Abb401 04:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
