Chess Fever
Шахматная горячка
1925 · SU
Directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin, Mykola Shpykovskyi
Moscow during the international tournament: a young man cannot stop playing, his fiancée cannot escape the game, and Capablanca, the world champion, appears as himself and settles it. Even the socks are chequered. Pudovkin cut real tournament footage into a comedy, so the montage theorist started with a joke. Vladimir Fogel. Pudovkin and Shpikovsky for Mezhrabpom, 1925, two reels.
