Peter the First, Part I (1937)

1937 · 145 min · Drama, War, History

This, the first Soviet depiction of Peter the Great, set the stage for what would become the post-Revolutionary line concerning the early Romanovs. Rulers like Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great were widely admired for their dedication to Russia and their absolute determination to enhance her position in the world. But praise for the hated later Romanovs conflicted too heavily with the very beliefs that had brought about the Revolution in 1917.

Directed by Vladimir Petrov. Starring Nikolai Simonov, Mikhail Zharov, Nikolai Cherkasov, Mikhail Tarkhanov and Viktor Dobrovolsky.
