Filmic insert to Eisenstein’s modernized, free adaptation of Ostrovskiy’s 19th-century Russian stage play, “The Wise Man” (“Na vsyakogo mudretsa dovolno prostoty”). The anti-hero Glumov tries to escape exposure in the midst of acrobatics, derring-do, and farcical clowning. Several members of Eisenstein’s troupe at the legendary “Proletkult” stage theatre in Moscow briefly appear in this little film. |
