Lev Kuleshov showcased his filmmaking theories in this broad comedy lampooning a patriotic American on a fact finding tour of the Soviet Union. Aleksandra Khokhlova and Boris Barnet (both future directors in their own right) steal the show as a con woman and a cowboy.
This is definitely a Your Mileage May Vary picture as the entire aim of the picture is to poke fun at American jingoism, down to the stars and stripes socks. I personally found it hilarious but if this doesn’t sound amusing to you, you probably won’t enjoy this picture much.
