"Masha" is a romantic and ironical comedy. The script is based on the life of Masha, a real young woman from Moscow. One day she ran away to Paris to Dima, a Russian translator. It turns out he is her father, who hasn't seen her since she was a baby. He lets her stay with him. His good friend Natasha helps them understand each other. But his whole life turned upside down and he must now rethink many aspects of his carefree life as a bachelor.

Once Upon a Thursday was the original released title of The Affairs of Martha, a 1942 Marsha Hunt vehicle from the MGM B-picture mills. The delightful Hunt plays Martha Lindstrom, a humble maid for the Sommerfield family. Falling in love with young Jeff Sommerfield (Richard Carlson), she marries him in a secret ceremony. As a source of extra income, Martha writes a pseudonymous autobiography, throwing her community into an uproar, since every family assumes that it is their maid who has penned the best-selling tome. Deftly directed by Jules Dassin, The Affairs of Martha was given a surprisingly big buildup by MGM, including a preferred slot in the studio's annual coming-attractions trailer; the extra "push" paid off at the box-office in spades. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
