Add to wishlist DetailsExisting reviews The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks is sure to satisfy any sense of humor, as the naive Mr. West falls victim to deception after deception from a collection of crooks and rogues shortly after his arrival in Moscow. The film is a propaganda piece that aims for only two things: The glorification of the Bolshevik way of life, and an easily digestible story to ensure that this message is well received. It succeeds at both. Mr. West, the symbol of the typical rich American (really, it's all in the name), knows little about the Bolsheviks. He can only rely on the unflattering depiction in the New York Magazine: unkempt men adorned by large mustaches and wearing fur clothes suitable for a Neanderthal. It is no surprise that when Mr. West travels to Russia in accordance with his duties as President of the YMCA, he takes caution by bringing along Jeddie, a loyal gun slinging 'cowboy' bodyguard. Throughout the film we see deliberate contrasts between the orderly Soviet society of the Bolsheviks and the haphazard actions of the Americans that disrupt it. DVD-R has Russian intertitles with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 73 mins. See film samples for sound and video quality!
