I don't know. All the actors were British. The Bolshevik leaders were all
played by British actors who acted like snooty upper class civil
servants. Very unconvincing. But they get away with this stuff because
Americans, who are generally quite content and proud to be dumbasses, are
under the illusion that anything British has class. Would anyone be
willing to be bored to tears by movie versions of English literary classics
otherwise?
Which reminds me, Woody Allen needs to be beaten to a pulp for "Match
Point". I don't think I ever walked out on a movie before, not so early,
anyway. I always thought he was an idiot, but this proves it.
I used to watch Masturbate Theater on public TV as a teenager. I was
hooked on "The Forskin Saga", but I refused to watch "Upstairs Downstairs".
BTW, PBS stands for "Pompous British Shit".

This is most interesting. It extends our knowledge base of how much the
CIA actually intervened in cultural matters. (The FBI did the same
domestically.) Of course, this also shows what vile shits the Soviets were.
BTW, I thougth the famed movie version of DR. ZHIVAGO was a piece of
shit. It was ruined by Britishness. It's hard to play a revolutionary
with a broomstick up your ass.
^^^^^^
CB: Who was playing a revolutionary in the movie ?
