Critiques (1)
Jules Verne's "Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar" (1876) is one of his most popular novels and was an absolutely crucial subject for Tourjansky and Jürgens. Tourjansky first filmed it in 1926 with Mozzhukhin in the lead role and Jürgens first played Strogoff in 1956. Now the two have reunited over the subject, and the result of their meeting is a very natural adventure novel for the widescreen color screen (which even a passing starlet like Capucine couldn't spoil).
