I saw this film many years ago in the Hague Holland and the music, I think, was performed by the Residentie Orkest. I remember that an introducer said that Shostakovitch wrote the score in just a few days after he had seen the film only once or twice. Amazing how it all fitted.

Could this film be any cooler??? A film about one of the most important moments in proletarian history and all to the music of Shostakovich!

Gee, that was disturbing. Does the evil roue get the damsel?
Even more reasons for a woman to get a good education and stay our of bars.
