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.

Parts II and III maintain the very high standards: how many works of that length - tinear 12:10:54 04/07/10 (0)
manage that?
Grigory is a wonderful actor as are his brothers, fellow Cossacks.
Seldom has the foolishness, the waste, and the idiocy of war been so devastatingly portrayed. I'd give your interpretation a wider scope: neither bolshie nor monarchist comes off very well. And once the cruelties of war begin, revenge and savagery must ensue.
Again, this is a 5 star film and I thank you!

The adulteress? She is a temptation, alright....
- She was one of the most gorgous women of Soviet cinema - Victor Khomenko 17:01:53 04/06/10 (0)
  Her face is deep, there is real intelligence in it. She was full-bodied, in the best of that time's tradition. Incredibly popular, she played in very few movies, most of her work was in theater. She is apparently still alive.
