Storm Over Asia

Pudovkin, Mezhrabpom, 1928, his last silent. A Mongol trapper is cheated on a fox pelt, joins the partisans, is captured by the British intervention, and is dressed as a puppet heir of Genghis Khan when they find an amulet. The storm at the end is wind machines and montage, not a weather report. Shot in Buriatia and the studio. Gosfilmofond restorations are the usual source. A western in Soviet clothes, and a face the occupiers want to put on a coin.
