...Gordeyev Family (Artkino), a Russian export amplified from a novel (Foma Gordeyev) by Maxim Gorky, is a visual experience that roars across the screen with the rage and razmakh of a flash fire on the steppes. Unfortunately it is also a piece of Marxist propaganda that suggests Premier Khrushchev might profitably send some of his moviemakers to Siberia-to stimulate corn production...

Ivan the Terrible (Artkino) is Part I of a three-part biography of Russia's first Czar (1530-84). It was written and directed by Sergei Eisenstein, one of the few men of genius who have made moving pictures. It is a great change and, many critics will feel, a great comedown from Eisenstein's early films, Potemkin, Ten Days That Shook the World, Old & New.
