The Adventures of Michael Strogoff (1937) EPIC SWASHBUCKLER 

What a period of great movies this was a absolute classic plot and action was incredible thankyou ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A magnificent film! The costumes, the settings, but most of all Anton Walbrook. The side-plot with the two journalists adds to the dramatic contrast. The dancing before the torture sequence....

This is the best rendition I have ever watched of the great Jules Verne novel, Michel Strogoff. Thank you for sharing

This is the best rendition I have ever watched of the great novel by French writer Jules Verne, "Michel Strogoff". Thank you for sharing

The Golden Age of Cinema!

Awesome. Thank you for sharing this. I never would have seen it otherwise.

Wonderful actors and a great story. I grew up with the Scribner's edition of Verne's classic, complete with NC Wyeth illustrations.

I love this type of drama. Dramatic with a little touch of humor. It makes me want to see more of the reporters adventures than Michael's

Thank you. I love this movie. Saw it decades ago with my uncle Orlando who has sadly passed away years ago. He was the one who told me about the movie as he knew I was a Jules Verne fan.

Thank you for an awesome movie!

Great movie! very enjoyable!

1.01.50._The famous "Polovtsian Dances" from the opera "Prince Igor" by Borodin. 2.07._There is a contradiction because the story happens in 1870 and the première of the Borodin's opera was in 1890 after the death of the composer.

I watched this film on TV, as a child. And have waited more than 50 years to see it again. Thank you. As for Akim Tamaroff, Yes he is a favored star. Naturally, as Mr. Acebos in the original "Ocean's 11". Then "Five Graves to Cairo". But, perhaps most of all, an episode of "The Rifleman", titled "New Orleans Mennace". His performance should have won an award.

This was Walbrook's first English-language film (originally entitled THE SOLDIER AND THE LADY) after fleeing Europe. He also appeared or starred in GASLIGHT, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP, THE RED SHOES, LA RONDE, LOLA MONTES, and SAINT JOAN. One of my favorites is his starring role in THE QUEEN OF SPADES (1949), based on the short story by Pushkin.

GREAT movie, thank you very much.

A little known Jules Verne story. People think of him mainly as a sci-fi type writer, but he was also known for his wild adventure tales.

One of the best movies of that era, ! good call PizzaFiix !👍👍👍

this movie enlighted my day,thankyou😇😍

Sweet Movie

At 59:24 - I'd swear that is Ward Bond as a Tatar jailer...

Grrrrreat movie! THANKS!!!

That was a good one

Thank you 🤩🤩💖

Vintage film version of Jules Verne's Michael Strogoff starring Anton Walbrook (who later starred in "The Red Shoes") but dominated by Akim Tamiroff, who seemed to have been enjoying himself immensely playing the villain (...To the friend of your bosom, the Tsar! Heh, heh, heh, heh!"). Most people thinik of Jules Verne as a writer of science-fiction novels but actually the plots of all of his novels revolved around unusual journeys of one sort or another. The journey might be under the sea in a submarine, across Africa in a balloon, around the world in an airship, on foot to the center of the Earth or it might simply be around the world in 80 days. In this particular instance, however, the story concerns a journey across Russia to Central Asia which, at the time this book was written, was as remote and exotic to Verne's readers as a journey across Central Africa.

Loved it!

Best part of Monday.

The talkie pioneers, Jules-Gabriel Verne & Adolf Wohlbrück in tsarist Russia - an intriguing combination indeed! :)

🍕🍕🍕🍕👍👍👍👍thanks P.F.!love these swashbucklers!!)

Any chance Akim Tamiroff in this movie was the inspiration for Boris Badenov in the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons?

This looks so fun! Thank you!

What history does this refer to ? Which war ?

Walbrook and Tamiroff--what else does a movie need?

I'm just nitpicking, but since they're Russians I'd have preferred that they pronounce his first name Mic-HA-el. I don't think they have silent H's in Russian.

Epic

great intro by Mr PIZZA

Wasn't Anton Walbrook in The Red Shoes?

Fay Bainter won an oscar for Jezebel.

Makes me proud to be Russian!

Jules Verne and a few other sci-fi writers looked down on H.G.Wells butWells had it all over all of them. The difference is Well writing was classical literature while Jules Verne was tantamount to a Classics Illustrated comic book. No offense Im sure Verne did his best.

Goes to show you how a few people with guns can take over the masses of sheep

Too bad RKO felt it necessary to include a couple of goof balls into the script of a film of such a grand scale and serious nature. i.e. war & love. None the less, enjoyable. Tnx PF.

People were cruel to bear's back then! Don't blame Bear's if he or she bites someone!

Love me some pizzaflix

At the end of this are we supposed to think fhe good guys are routing the bad guys?lol

Wow beef stroganoff in a movie must be good

oh those russians - always wanting to get into a scrap!

I can't watch this one. It invokes genetic memories.

WICKED...

Почему на русском языке нет?!
