Silk Stockings

About the show

Special envoy Nina Yaschenko (Ninotchka) is dispatched from the Soviet Union to rescue three foolish commissars from the pleasures of Paris. Romanced by theatrical agent Steven Canfield, she eventually comes to recognize the virtues of capitalist indulgence. Meanwhile, Peter Boroff, Russia's greatest composer, is being wooed by Janice Dayton, America's swimming sweetheart, to write the score for her first non-aquatic picture, a musical adaptation of War and Peace.
