The Great Glow (1938)
In 1917, the people of the Russian Empire are no longer willing to fight Germany, but the bourgeois government of Alexander Kerensky is unwilling to defy its imperialist allies and stop the war. Only Vladimir Lenin’s Bolshevik Party is resolute in calling for peace. In the front, the soldiers of one battalion elect three delegates to travel to St. Petersburg with donations the troops collected for the Pravda newspaper: Gudushauri, Panasiuk and Ershov. The three arrive in the capital and describe the horrendous conditions in which the soldiers live to Joseph Stalin, Lenin’s trusted aid and colleague. They join the Bolsheviks and take part in the storming of the Winter Palace, led by Stalin and Lenin. Stalin announces that the great dawn of revolution has broken.

Stylish but barely mediocre overall
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
