    Nope. But it's a fucking great film. Everyone should watch it. Not least for the scene at the Odessa steps and the very end.

    Like Rashomon, if you haven't seen it, its one of those films that will seem strangely familiar :D

    Alexander Nevsky is also another classic Eisenstein worth watching :yes:

    Is the red flag on the original film or was it superimposed at a later date?

    As far as I'm aware it was part of the original film. It wasn't that unusal to use colour in black and white films. A film like the Impossible Voyage was filled with colour moments and effects - they all just have to be hand painted on each and every frame of each print.

    Really? I thought until the invention of colour telly, the world was black and white :)

    Well obviously the Wizard of Oz and Snow White came out before the TV. And colour cinema has been around long before colour TV, but I wasn't sure if it was the projectors that only showed black and white as well as that being the limitation of the film itself.
