Re: [Videolib] FW: [slavcin-l] Help in identifying a film
Interesting about the film Hurricane (Uragan). In Primo Levi's memoir La Tregua (The Truce, also published as The Reawakening) he describes seeing this movie when he was in a Soviet transit camp in 1945. I wonder how many copies of it were going around the Soviet Union in the 1940s 1950s. - Victoria Caplan HKUST Libarry Media Resources Microforms Sounds like John Ford's The Hurrican (Uragan means Hurrican in Czech). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hurricane_%281937_film%29 On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 1:39 PM, Brewer, Michael brew...@u.library.arizona.edu wrote: Can anyone help? mb Michael Brewer Team Leader for Instructional Services University of Arizona Libraries brew...@u.library.arizona.edu -Original Message- From: Alexander Prokhorov [mailto:axp...@wm.edu] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 12:08 PM To: slavci...@lists.wm.edu Subject: [slavcin-l] Help in identifying a film I am working with a collection of labor camp correspondence (the letter in question dates to 1944) in which an inmate reports seeing an American film titled Uragan in the Soviet labor camp in which he is being held.
