An international star of the silent era, Ivan Mosjoukine (and maker of The Burning Crucible) may not be very well-known today, but there are some good reasons why. One: the Russian Revolution prevented his becoming a long-term icon of Russian cinema; Two: he turned down the lead role in what would have been his most famous film, Abel Gance’s Napoleon. Three: Hollywood did come calling, but their relationship didn’t work out. Four: a heavy accent hobbled his hitherto flourishing European career when Talkies arrived. And five: he died young, succumbing to tuberculosis in 1939.>> - Dennis Harvey...
