World Cinema: Sergei Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible: Part 1

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Nikolai Cherkasov

Eisenstein's individually composed images, Prokofiev's striking score, and Cherkasov's magnificent performance in the title role make Ivan the Terrible the greatest achievement of Eisenstein's distinguished career.
In Part 1 young Ivan incurs the wrath of the landowners while trying to unite Russia and finds himself in a precarious position as a result of intrigue by the Boyars and the hatred of the all-powerful Staritzky family.
