"The Girl in the Kremlin" is a 1957 American thriller which puts forth the premise that Joseph Stalin (played by Maurice Manson) faked his own death in 1953 and then moved to Greece with a fortune in Soviet currency. Zsa Zsa Gabor plays a dual role, Stalin’s nurse and lover as well as her twin sister who, unaware of Stalin’s plot, hires an ex O.S.S. agent (Lex Barker) to find her sister.

Trivia

*The film is best known for its opening scene where Stalin sadistically orders that a young woman with waist-length hair (played by Natalie Darryl in her only big screen appearance) have her head shaved completely bald. The head shaving is shown from start to finish, and was prominently featured in the advertising for the film despite having nothing to do with its plot.

*This was the last film directed by Russell Birdwell who later became a well-known publicist.
