Western

America’s Wild West of the last third of the 19th century. Thousands of people rushed here in pursuit of enrichment. Among them was Gabriel Conroy, a man absolutely helpless in the world of business. When fountains of oil started gushing on his plot of land, the local moneybags Peter Damphy decided to appropriate the land, and succeeded in it by blackmailing Conroy’s wife and his former mistress Julie... Based upon stories by Francis Bret Harte.

Plot

I'm sure people have seen enough of those so-called "Spaghetti" Westerns; THIS is what you could call a "Vodka" Western! The settings, costumes, and production design are all convincing. They fortunately have wide-ranging climates in the former Soviet Union, so if you wanna see the dusty, sun-baked Old West, this movie has it. It's a little disconcerting to hear those leathery cowboys speak Russian, but the authenticity makes up for it. ONE word of warning, though: Even though the movie's setting is the U.S. of A., the political ideology presented is pure Bolshevik.
