This is one of my favorite movies and Robert Duvall does an excellent job in his portrayal of Stalin, the most cruel dictator of the 20th century. Even though many people ignore the true facts, Stalin killed far more people than Hitler (50 million Stalin, 25 million Hitler). As a victim of the Communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro, I deeply identify with this realistic movie. If you have not seen Stalin, you can buy it at Amazon.com at a very reasonable price. This is a movie that deserves to be seen more than one time. It's a true masterpiece.
