седьмой спутник (герман, 1967, in russian)

Petrograd or thereabouts, 1918 or thenabouts. A bunch of tsarist army officers are held captive in a swank palace or something. Later on in the movie, there is some great Russian Civil War action.

Some people spell the director's name "German". Others spell it "Gherman" or "Guerman" so that you won't pronounce it the same way as the nationality.

Like in other Aleksei German movies, there is beautiful snow. There are also cool hats.

Andrei Popov is very sympathetic in the main role.
