Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Matt KWilliam Boyd (same guy as Hopalong Cassidy) plays THE VOLGA BOATMAN (1926), a member of the Red Party who falls in love with Princess Vera, on the cusp of the Russian Revolution. Although DeMille was extremely anti-communist, this movie's sympathies lay with the people oppressed under the Tsarists. One of my very favorite silent films - very good.
