(Also called "Razumov.") Based on Joseph Conrad's "Under Western Eyes," starring Pierre Fresnay. The New York Post Review says in regard to it.—"French adaptation from novel "Under Western Skies" is unique achievement. The story is an extraordinary compelling tragedy in which the familiar pitfalls of tragedy are not in evidence. Nowhere do you receive the impression that events are being twisted or characters altered to create an effect. This tale of unwilling participation in conspiracy never strays from the path of what has to happen. Without belaboring the point, the Conradian sense of Fate comes to you like a thrust in the heart." (Recommended for curriculum enrichment.)
