Until recently, the battalions of Marxism seemed to have the upper hand over the soldiers of the Cross. In the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Lenin had pledged toleration but delivered terror. "Russia turned crimson with the blood of martyrs," says Father Gleb Yakunin, Russian Orthodoxy's bravest agitator for religious freedom. In the Bolsheviks' first five years in power, 28 bishops and 1,200 priests were cut down by the red sickle.

The dauntless duo, accompanied, of course, by Marty's girlfriend Jennifer (Elizabeth Shue), must head off to give future history a quick...
...principal villain in this piece is the actress's father, an itinerant Spanish dancer named Eduardo Cansino. He recruited his daughter, then barely in her teens, to be his partner in his nightclub act. Leaming contends that he also sexually abused her. The evidence here is spotty, based solely on Welles' word that Hayworth once admitted as much to him. But as a working hypothesis, the trauma of incest may explain a lifetime of otherwise inexplicable, self- destructive blunders...
