Yes indeed, it means hurricane in other slavic languages as well. I
wonder what the other films were.

Sounds like John Ford's The Hurrican (Uragan means Hurrican in Czech).

Subject: [slavcin-l] Help in identifying a film
I am working with a collection of labor camp correspondence (the
letter in question dates to 1944) in which an inmate reports seeing
an American film titled "Uragan" in the Soviet labor camp in which
he is being held. He says that the plot of the film centers on a
prisoner who escapes from hard labor and returns to the wife he has
not seen in 8 years. During their separation, the wife has had a child.
I have poked around some online, but I cannot seem to find anything from the
right period that looks like a likely match. Any suggestions for
how best to
proceed would be very welcome. If at all possible, I would like to identify
the film in question. The letters mention screenings of other American films
in the camp, including some made as late as 1941. Thanks in advance for any
advice or help you can provide. Best wishes, Emily

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
issues relating to the selection, evaluation,
acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current
and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It
is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for
video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between
libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
