Michael Curtiz directs Kay Francis and Leslie Howard in this tale of romance and revolution in Russia. Touted at the time of its release as most expensive picture yet produced by the studio, Curtiz does not allow the sweep and spectacle to overwhelm the very human drama that lies at the heart of the film. It is 1917 and the Russian Revolution is sweeping the country. Elena (Francis) has dedicated her life to the Cause as personified by Lenin. But during a street riot her life is saved by Stephen Locke (Howard), an unofficial diplomatic agent for England. The two, although dedicated to opposing causes, fall for each other. But Elena learns that Locke is wanted by the secret police for his revolutionary activities and she is ordered to obtain evidence of Locke's scheming. She does so -- although she knows this will condemn him to death. One of Kay Francis' greatest performances in film, aided by a string of character greats.

Drama

They smash through skylights, tumble down staircases, drop from a high rooftop into a waiting convertible – the only fall Skipper Clark and his devil-may-care pals won't take is to fall in love. That's because Skipper, Bob Hughes and their fellow stunt-men know that the concerns of a wife and family don't mix with the risks of a Hollywood stunt-man's career. Yet Skipper falls hard for lovely Fran. After their marriage, he loses his nerve during the shooting of a dangerous two-man scene, putting Bob's life in peril. Skipper is then shunned by his profession and, desperate for funds, agrees to perform an almost-suicidal waterfall stunt refused by the other stunt-men. Bill Boyd, a big star of TV's early days when he brought his popular Hopalong Cassidy films to the small screen, portrays Skipper in this B-programmer filled with glimpses of the era's filmmaking techniques and created by David O. Selznick's RKO production unit.

Dartmouth football heroes Johnny Baker (William Gargan) and Sandy Brown (Joel McCrea) – famed for their Baker-to-Brown passing game – go their separate ways after graduation: Johnny to the editor's desk of a newspaper sports page and Sandy to the promotional schemes of a wrestling manager nicknamed Shifty. The friends' paths merge again when Johnny helps Sandy out of tough economic times, but their renewed friendship teeters toward permanent collapse when both men woo a lovely newspaper illustrator (Marian Marsh). David O. Selznick is executive producer of this pre-Code programmer, overseeing the array of visual flourishes conjured by Dudley Murphy (director of the following year's The Emperor Jones and a co director of the earlier avant-garde Ballet mécanique). Algonquin Round Table wit Robert Benchley makes his feature debut as an always-befuddled sportscaster.
