The Olympics in Russia provide the inspiration for today's feature, a hilarious satire of Soviet communism. Republican he-man movie legend Clark Gable plays an American foreign correspondent who outwits the U.S.S.R.'s news censorship rules while the gorgeous Hedy Lamarr plays the stone-faced street car conductor he gets involved with. Good fun and a comedy that deserves to be better known.

“A Lion In Winter” is on TCM in 21 minutes. That’s my movie for a Sunday afternoon.

This is one of my favorite films!

The scene where the lady’s bed is stolen at the hotel is classic.

My family JUST finished watching this movie on your recommendation. Thank you. There is no shortage of good anti-Nazi movies. Nice to see a decent anti-Soviet movie to fill out my children’s movie list.

Well, there was a Shirley Temple marathon on the “Movie!” channel including some of her best like “Wee Willie Winkie” and “The Littlest Rebel” - I started to watch but the sweetness rolling from the screen was making my blood sugar level spike out of control, so I switched over to “Picnic” on TCM....
