Stalin and Molotov are Old Bolsheviks, the aging top-dog survivors of the conspiratorial crew who seized power 32 years ago. Malenkov, an adolescent when the Revolution began, is a New Bolshevik. His character was fashioned in the dark and stormy laboratory of civil war, purge trials, slave labor, thought control and the midnight calls of the secret police. He worked his way through the anonymous, self-anointed inner core of the party to its all-highest Politburo, to be Deputy Premier of the U.S.S.R.

He is stealthy one moment, moronic the next; when he comes out in the last scene balancing a bottle of Schlitz on his head and drinking from a hot-water bag, even the most non-Roman audience cannot help laughing. John Rexine, the pimp, brandishes his curses and his whip as if he had done nothing else all his life, and Paul Broneer and Joe Dallett, as the dupe and his swaggering impersonator, are well-cast. The love scene between Arthur Millward and Brooks Emmons is a spicy reminder...
