| Synopsis |
His friends tell YMCA president Mr. West he will be in terrible jeopardy if he visits the Soviet Union and those "mad, savage Russians." To protect himself, Mr. West brings along his faithful cowboy-bodyguard Jeddy.
Once there, strange things start to happen...His briefcase mysteriously disappears...An enigmatic man in a top hat warns him of an insidious plot...Jeddy vanishes...And the extraordinary adventures of Mr. West begin!
Lev Kuleshov's inspired satire of America's slanted view of the Soviet Union is as fresh and timely today as it was in 1924. Borrowing from American movies, Kuleshov delivers a marvelous romp with a proliferation of hilarious slapstick gags that compare with the best American comedies and chase films. As a bonus, the film stars famous Soviet directors Boris Barnet as the gun-totin' Jeddy and Vsevolod Pudovkin as the con-man Zhban. |
