...tough fellow with a talent for talking like a college professor, Gibbons, 53, teamed up with Hoffa in 1948, by brains and brawling turned his St. Louis local into a key link in Hoffa's chain, became a leader of the Teamsters' powerful Central States Conferences. He worked tirelessly to smooth over the trail of disputes Hoffa left behind him, served as Hoffa's top propagandist, eventually was named Hoffa's executive assistant in Washington...

Director Grigori Chukhrai, who proved his talent with the sensitive, romanticized Ballad of a Soldier, tells a tale of illicit love-and tells it straight, without prudish apologies, against a background of post-World War II political tyranny. The off-screen villain of the piece is Joseph Stalin...
