...knew left-wingers as loquacious loungers who would cut down a walnut tree under which Rilke had written a poem rather than walk farther for firewood-and knew at the same time that nothing good would come of that lot. Through her beauty and her faith in the things unseen, Regler eventually came to see his politics as stale and inhuman...
...drilling rig and its surrounding shacks lay dim in the dawnlike light of Arctic high noon one day last week. Suddenly the direct rays of the sun, unseen for more than a month, spilled over the bleak horizon and splashed against the top of the 127-ft. derrick.

But Part 2 displeased Stalin, and Eisenstein died before he could make the necessary changes. For the next ten years, Part 2 lay unseen in the Soviet Film Archive. In 1958, five years after Stalin's death, the film was at last released, and is now being seen in the U.S. It is a queer, lugubrious, horribly beautiful adagio, the second movement in an opus conceived, in formal terms, as a mighty concerto...
