Silk Stockings

In Paris, American producer Steve Canfield (Fred Astaire) tries to convince Russian composer Peter Ilyitch Boroff (Wim Sonneveld) to work on his next picture, and successfully convinces three Soviet commissars to let Boroff stay in Paris. Meanwhile, Ninotchka (Cyd Charisse), a beautiful and ultra-serious Soviet agent sent to retrieve Boroff, starts out condemning the West but gradually falls under its spell with Steve's help. As they spend more time together, Ninotchka and Steve contrast their beliefs on romantic attraction, leading to a romance that sweeps them both off their feet.
