This film
1:39:30
was produced in 1927
1:39:36
by a group
of soviet filmakers,
1:39:40
led by Sergei Eisenstein
1:39:42
for the Tenth Anniversary
of the October Revolution.
1:39:47
This film recreates
1:39:49
the events of October 191 7
with the greatest possible realism.
1:39:53
Many participants of
the Revolution,
1:39:55
Red Guards,
soldiers and sailors
1:39:58
appear in the film.
1:40:02
Among them is
Nikolai Podvolsky,
1:40:05
one of the leaders
of the armed uprising.
1:40:08
Leningrad and its streets,
the Winter Palace,
1:40:13
the corridors of the Smolny,
1:40:19
were the same as in that
fateful year.
1:40:26
Thus, OCTOBER 191 7 renders
1:40:29
a stirring ''eyewitness''
1:40:32
account of the early days of
1:40:35
the birth of the
Soviet Union.
1:40:41
A masterpiece created by
1:40:44

1:40:49
it's a welcome
gift to film viewers.
