Russians in Hollywood, Hollywood's Russians: Biography of an Image Review"Russians in Hollywood, Hollywood's Russians; a Biography of an Image" by author, Harlow Robinson is actually like the old Wrigley's chewing gum advertisement that had a catchy little tune that started out: "double your pleasure double your fun.. get two ..two gums in one' (or words similar there of).
Harlow Robinson gives the reader two biographical sketches . One biography centers upon the films and imagery of the Russian actors who portrayed certain characters, and then...a biography of the real actor, and the events in his or, her life.
Robinson takes the reader through the various images of Hollywood's portrayal of ..."The Russian'., depending upon the political climate of the time period in which the movie came out. Sometimes Mysterious, sometimes mystical, sometimes seductive, sometimes bold, sometimes a friend, and more often an enemy but always..."A Russian."
I was especially drawn to the biographical sketch of Maria Ouspenskaya who played the role of a gypsy in the 1940 film, "The Wolf man." Here was a woman who grew up in revolution, poverty, illness, death, and still managed to make her indelible mark on the celluloid and silver screens of America in the last 12 years of her life.
Harlow Robinson's infatuation with Russia and the Russians is easily understood, but his knowledge of the subject goes far beyond the reaches of most people like myself. I am still reading this book (don't want it to end), but can tell you it is a book worth having for anyone interested in the history of film making or, the history of Russia.
From Alexander Nevsky to "From Russia with Love", the information presented in this book is as extensive as the steeps of Russia itself.
