Bepergian ke Moskow bersama Sir Laurence Olivier, Robert Lang, & Lainnya (1965) | British Pathé

Deskripsi:

A group of celebrated British stage and film actors—including Sir Laurence Olivier, Robert Lang, Lynn Redgrave, Billie Whitelaw, Colin Blakely and John Stride—embark on a 1965 journey from London to Moscow to stage Shakespeare’s Othello. The film follows their preparations: costume fittings, a flight aboard a BEA aircraft, and backstage moments with the actors. Once in Moscow, the footage captures iconic sights such as the Kremlin, Red Square, the GUM shopping centre, and the Soviet Space Exhibition, interspersed with scenes of the actors exploring the city, meeting dignitaries, and rehearsing the play. The narrative weaves together the cultural exchange of a Western theatrical troupe in the USSR with the everyday life of Soviet citizens, all framed by British Pathé’s documentary style that blends news and entertainment.
