This, the first Soviet depiction of Peter the Great, set the stage for what would become the post-Revolutionary line concerning the early Romanovs. Rulers like Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great were widely admired for their dedication to Russia and their absolute determination to enhance her position in the world. But praise for the hated later Romanovs conflicted too heavily with the very beliefs that had brought about the Revolution in 1917.

Rated 23 Dec 2013

The first of two grand period dramas about Tsar Pyotr I made in 1937 with the follow-up coming closely in 1938. This follows Peter before taking over the throne and how he built his reputation. And in true Russian fashion it's got it's raw energy. Especially when it comes to how real men take their women! Can't say it's a great movie, but it has it's strong moments, like the battles and Nikolai Simonov in the lead draws one in with his ugly charisma.
