Kam Williams NewsBlaze A touching tale of tolerance from Russia circa 1936 that doesn't deserve to be dismissed as propaganda but rather elevated as a refreshing and more-enlightened alternative to the racist depictions of blacks that Hollywood was cranking out at the same time Rated: 4/4 Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
