Version of Deti kapitana Granta (1936)

A great adventure movie (mini)

In my opinion one of the best Russian movies. The plot is kept quite close to the original novel written by J.Verne although the ending is different (also very good). In my country this movie was shown once a year and everyone stopped to do what they were doing and watched it. The movie had only one minus - it was divided into seven parts and usually you could see only one part per day. The director had chosen perfect actors, for example, Lembit Ulfsak was a perfect Paganel. Mainly this is what I wanted to say about this film. Bye.
