...When he is abroad in Havana or at the United Nations, his harangues often sound like those of a Communist, but at home he does not always act like one.

In an interview, Amin insisted that the Russians would never manipulate his country or its economy, and disclosed that he had told both U.S. and Soviet ambassadors that "we want to retain our free judgment."

But A Slave of Love comes from the Soviet Union, not France, and that single fact casts the film in a startling light. It isn't often that the Soviets export movies that aim to be lyrical, sentimental and commercial. One could sooner imagine Universal Pictures releasing a musical remake of Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky-with or without Sensurround...
