Interesting film revolving around the rebellion of the Tartars, who threatened the Russian Empire at the time of Tsar Alexander 11's rule.
Anton Walbrook plays our hero who is sent to deliver a message along the way and finds love with 2 women along the way. One of them, nicely played by Margot Grahame, is a spy for Tartar leader, Akim Tamiroff, as vicious as ever in the role. Grahame falls for the Walbrook character and when he and his new love, Elizabeth Allan, are captured along with Fay Bainter, Walbrook's mother, she aids them.
This is a fierce story of looting, burning and killing during these Tartar raids.
A good film depicting the over powering of good versus evil. How come when Wolbrook was sentenced to be blinded, we hear the theme of Stranger in Paradise? That was somewhat inane.
