02/06/2015 Great silent comedy, that mocks the "ugly american" very effectively. See more 09/14/2012 The mid-twenties were a great period of experimentation for Soviet art. 20 years after I missed the last Melbourne screening I finally got to see this mix of slapstick satire in the style of Harold Lloyd and avant-garde acting methods. Extraordinary, but I'm left wondering how Kuleshov survived the purges. See more 04/15/2012 There's no subtlety in the characters, which makes this of interest for historical purposes only. See more 01/28/2012 Delightful silent satire which takes some sharp jabs at American culture. See more 05/27/2010 Bájos történet. micsoda szerencse, hogy a bolsevikok ilyen jó emberek voltak... See more 10/08/2007 Fun Soviet propaganda comedy that tells the story of the enthusiastic but gullible Mr. West, a proud American (see how she waves the US flag as he arrives to the land of the Bolsheviks) and President of the YMCA that goes on a trip to the Soviet Union under the idea that Russians are all savages. It is however his faithful body-guard that begins to spread the chaos in the streets of Moscow. It's also Mr. West's ignorance that leads him to the trap the crooks set up for him. The actor that plays Mr. West is great. The montage is frenetic. Humorous and occasionally witty on its social commentary. Leninist propaganda aside, it was quite enjoyable.
