The slugline caught my attention: "A radical American journalist becomes involved with the Communist revolution in Russia, and hopes to bring its spirit and idealism to the United States."
Can anyone here recommend it or should I go in expecting McCarthyism/reductionist takes?
Edit: thanks to everyone for the advice!! I'm definitely gonna watch it sometime this week.
It contains one of the best scenes of all time just before the intermission. I never get tired of it.
