The great "what if" in cinema history is what if Eisenstein had made good during his Hollywood sojourn and stayed there (he thought about it). Tammy and the Bachelor, directed by Sam Eisenstein?

Name-check alert One of my very best friends is in fact Sergei Eisenstein's great, great grandaughter. I am constantly urging her to cash in on the name, but she finds that nobody actually recognizes it.

I also like the bit where the guy in Odessa comes out with some ill received anti-semitic outburst and then is embarrassed.
and it has a dirty vicar.

Haven't seen nearly as much Eisenstein as I should have, but I actually like Alexander Nevsky a slight bit more than Battleship Potemkin. The battle scene is just...mwah!

the local vid library has Ivan The Terrible on DVD... it seems to be all about how Ivan The Terrible is actually G*R*A*T*E in a hymn-to-Stalin kind of way.

It's pretty wry when Prince Nevsky says "it's better to die than to leave your homeland" considering Eisenstein had only returned a couple years before from jaunts in Mexico, Europe and America.
