Movie Info

Journalist McKinley "Mac" Thompson (Clark Gable) is on assignment in pre-World War II Moscow and secretly files uncensored stories critical of the Stalinist government with an American newspaper. Hotel valet Vanya (Felix Bressart) discovers his true identity and blackmails him into spiriting his beloved daughter, a Communist streetcar driver who calls herself Theodore (Hedy Lamarr), out of Russia.

Critic Reviews for Comrade X

All Critics (3) | Fresh (3)

A satire of extraordinary grace in which the Soviet regime is ridiculed. [Full review in Spanish]

Elena de la Torre
Cine-Mundial
Inspired by Garbo's Ninotchka (a much better film on any level) King Vidor's romantic melodrama is a serviceable star vehicle for Clark Gable as an American journalist and the beautiful Hedy Lamarr as a Soviet streetcar conductor.
