Title: Very funny comedy and a historical curiosity as well
Product review: This film, about a series of adventures an american businessman suffers in Soviet Russia, as he falls in a trap set by a gang of criminals, is unusual for the Soviet movies of the 1920s: it's a comedy, and it's very funny at that. We see the Moscow of the early 20s, when capitalism wasn't yet banished (we see advertisements and foreign cars), a time of relative freedom in the Soviet Union, when the nightmare of Stalinism was still far away. It also shows a sympathetic view of Americans that is rare in films from the Soviet Union.
