Bond went on to say that DuBois' joining the Communist Party was "more an expression of disgust at American social practices than of attraction for communist ideology.

...most disappointing aspect of the movie is that it avoids dealing with the tragedy and passes over distasteful episodes.

...great pianists, as an example of a Soviet artist who travels happily in and out of his homeland. "A travesty of truth," replied Ashkenazy from Greece, where he was vacationing. Indeed, the pianist has not set foot on Russian soil since 1963, when he fled Moscow in fear and disgust. Ashkenazy explained that he had been forbidden to travel for three years after his U.S. tour in 1958, and was later granted an exit visa only on condition that his wife remained in Russia as a "moral hostage." Eventually, Khrushchev gave them permission to travel together, arid once they left...
