"I have been fascinated by your 5 yr plan for the last 15 years"

What a beautiful piece of political satire.

@aynaristo That is a great line. Because of Garbo, the writing is very much an overlooked part of the movie. It is rather clever.

Esta actriz tiene la imagen de mujer liberal e independiente.

Melvyn Douglas and Garbo play off each other so beautifully. This is one of the funniest films ever...Lubitsch was a genius at Old World comedy. Thanks for sharing oakjackson!

After seeing this clip I want to see the movie. It was mentioned to me as "Guess who is the INTJ and who is the ESFP" on another site. (two opposite MBTI personality types where the genders here are reverse of normal)

Thanks for uploading. Now I just have to figure out whether to playlist it under "humor" or "INTJ".
