...Soviet heroes of the military conquest just after the World War, Amkino has turned out a thoroughly competent piece entitled "Chapayev, the Red Commander." It is a workmanlike and worthy memorial, yet it falls short of the brilliance intended by its makers.

And Carrasco with his Oxford lisp seems more the bespectacled grind than the heroic flance. These too noticeable incongruities make it difficult to imagine oneself in the Spain of the seventeenth century...
