Krasnaya palatka (The Red Tent). 1969. Italy/USSR. Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov. Screenplay by Richard L. Adams, Ennio De Concini, Robert Bolt. With Sean Connery, Claudia Cardinale, Hardy Krüger, Peter Finch, Massimo Girotti. Courtesy CSC - Cineteca Nazionale. In Italian, Russian; English subtitles. DCP. 138 min.

An ambitious and surprisingly moving and suspenseful Italian-Soviet coproduction, written by Ennio De Concini (The Facts of Murder), Richard DeLong Adams, and Robert Bolt (Lawrence of Arabia) and directed by Mikhail Kalatozov (The Cranes Are Flying), The Red Tent stars Sean Connery as the fearless Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and Peter Finch as the guilt-wracked Italian general Umberto Nobile, who led a vain and ill-fated 1928 dirigible expedition to the North Pole. Ennio Morricone composes fittingly soaring orchestral music for this adventurous saga.

This film accompanies Ennio Morricone.
