(1956, aka ILYA MUROMETS) Boris Andreyev, Shukur Burkhanov, Andrei Abrikosov, Natalya Medvedeva, Nelli Myshkova, Sergey Martinson. A wonderful Russian fantasy about a legendary warrior who fights to save his people from an assortment of horrible monsters including a dragon, a wind demon, and other legendary creatures. There are many great scenes and the special effects, for the time, were very well done. The scenes involving the wind demon and the “mountain of living men” are particularly memorable. A great epic film that we highly recommend. This special two-disc edition contains the original foreign language widescreen version (from a gorgeous 35mm print) with English subtitles, plus the full-screen English language American release version (from 16mm).
