Plot summary

Captain Vinka Kovalenko defects from Russia, but not for political reasons. She defects because she feels discriminated against as a woman. Captain Chuck Lockwood gets the order to show her the bright side of capitalism, while she tries to convince him of the superiority of communism. Naturally, they fall in love, but there's still the KGB, which doesn't like the idea of having a defected Russian officer running around in London.

Katharine Hepburn stars as a Russian pilot who

Katharine Hepburn stars as a Russian pilot who defects to the West because she is passed over for a promotion in favour of an incompetent male. She is paired with American officer Bob Hope who is tasked with convincing her to stay in the West. She, in turn, endeavours to convert Hope to Communism. Hope is engaged to a wealthy aristocratic woman in England, so he finds a pretense to take Hepburn to London so he can work on her while romancing his British fiance. While in England, Soviet agents try to retrieve Hepburn. This is a terrible film that all the major participants basically disavowed. Ben Hecht wrote this loose remake of "Ninotchka" as a vehicle for Hepburn. They were looking to cast a romantic comedy lead like Cary Grant or William Holden, but only Hope was interested. When Hope was cast, he essentially brought in a crew or writers to convert the film into his kind of film. Nobody comes out ahead. Hepburn is terrible with her absurd attempt at a Russian accent. Hope seems lost and lacking his usual energy. The two hated each other ... and it shows. The film is not funny and the stars have no chemistry. Hecht tried to have his name taken off it, and Hope suppressed the film completely after it's original theatrical release,

Hepburn is so bad she should be forced

Hepburn is so bad she should be forced to return her Oscars after this.

Typical Hope matinee - he plays second banana

Typical Hope matinee - he plays second banana. This time to the girl that Spenser couldn't tame. Hepburn's Soviet accent is ridiculously annoying; appropriate for a punchline but not for a 90 minute movie. Bob & Kat displayed great bravery following this Marxian (brothers) script rather than improvising through the scenes - our loss.
