To prepare for the role, Robert Duvall watched numerous hours of newsreels, read many books about Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, and spoke to Russians who remembered him. He said that playing Stalin was the most challenging role of his career.
The first American movie to be premiered in Moscow.
This movie premiered in Russia on the 75th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution.
The cast includes two Oscar winners: Robert Duvall and Maximilian Schell; and three Oscar nominees: Dame Joan Plowright, Frank Finlay, and Daniel Massey.
Director Ivan Passer was one of the many filmmakers responsible for the Czech New Wave movement of the 1960s. His Intimate lighting is considered a classic of the period. However, like so many others, the Prague Spring, which allowed new directions in arts, society, and politics, also stigmatized him when the Soviets invaded in 1968 and a harsh cloud descended over every aspect of life in Czechoslovakia. He emigrated to the U.S., hoping to restart his career there, but never managed to get the respect that his talents deserved. This movie is no doubt in part a negative homage to the ideological reverberations that so deeply scarred his professional life.
"Nikita Khrushchev: Have you thought about it? About what we said after Stalin dies? Vyacheslav Molotov: Like what? Nikita Khrushchev: His crimes? Vyacheslav Molotov: What crimes? Nikita Khrushchev: Millions... Vyacheslav Molotov: Nikita, you are too emotional. You talk too much. Who are we to judge Stalin. Before him we were a weak, backward country, Now look at us. We control half of Europe... the whole of China... We have the atomic bomb... We command respect. Without Stalin, it would have take twenty years longer. Nikita Khrushchev: I don't believe it. Without the purges, the arrests, the killings... without Stalin, we could have been a great country. Vyacheslav Molotov: Our history required Stalin."
"Stalin: [after hearing about the situation on the Eastern Front] Beria! Beria! Bring up security troops. Shoot anyone trying to retreat. Voroshilov: Shoot our own men? Stalin: Yes, and we'll shoot you too! You incompetent fool! Voroshilov: Koba! How can you say that? Who killed off all our best generals? 40,000 of our best officers? Called them 'enemies of the people'? Had them shot? Who trusted Hitler? Who said he would not attack us? Voroshilov? No! It was you! It was YOU!"
