This Russian language, English titled, overlength glorification of Joseph Stalin, Lenin's ten-year plan and the USSR's undeniable courage and sacrifice during the war is 100 per cent propaganda. Its eulogies are done at such length and with such broad strokes as to achieve more boredom than interest. No less than one dozen Soviet leaders appear in person on the screen. Their presence, the subject matter and the portrayal of Premier Stalin by talented Mikhail Gelovani make this feature a good booking for art spots and naborhood houses in Russian-American communities.

The film has been produced on a magnificent scale, contains -unbelievably lavish settings, excellent singing and dancing, superior photography and recording. In addition to its snail-like pace, the picture is further burdened by several poor performances.

She likewise incurs the enmity of Prejean's mistress and backer, Suzy Prim. Uncle Michel goes bankrupt, as do the other small neighboring shopkeepers. At end, Prejean breaks with Suzy, weds Blanchette and, inspired by her, improves the working and living conditions of all his employees.
