I wonder if you will agree with my sense that the movie has far more sympathy for the common folks caught between the millstones of the Revolution, than to their bolshevik oppressors... given the time it was made this sounds like high blasphemy.
How is the DVD quality?
Agree on actresses, they all are beautiful, albeit with different kind of beauty. The lead one is Jewish... not that it matters to an average American viewer, but to someone who had felt and experienced the state anti-Semitism that had special meaning - there was that almost "We showed them!" murmur among the Soviet Jews, Bystritskaya was a hero.
