almost remarkable

theatrical, admirable work for its period, mixture of adventure story and romance using a page of modern Romanian history, it must be discover in the context of its origins. because it is expression of a cinema fashion and interesting exercise of Dinu Cocea to create a different image about past, not exactly heroic but credible, not result of the best technical tools but ambitious and profound honest. a film about revenge and duty, corruption and victory of good guys. but, more important, a splendid Amza Pellea as bad guy character and flavor of a deep Romanian way to exist. Romantic slices and fight scenes, first step of Marga Barbu in a role who defines her career, it is an useful film for discover efforts of an artistic team and a movie who has , after decades, force to convince and remember, for many of its viewers, the emotions of youth age.

part of a period

it is not very inspired to define it out of the period context. it is entertainment and this fact is the best angle to see it. it use romance and fights for a nice and almost credible story about justice and a romantic time. and, a real good point, it not propose heroes. only a charming use of history crumbs. the most important detail - it was made in a delicate political period and this fact does it bizarre. because the start of national historical epic is not prepared and Dinu Cocea does an admirable effort for use popular influences, the exercise from 1929 about the same subject, a great cast and a form of freedom who could be understand only in the political context of "60 years. technical is far to be brilliant. or decent. but it has so many virtues , it is the first from a not so bad series and propose a perspective about Romanian modern history who remains interesting today too.
