Queen of Spades
In view of the problems with our classic film, The Fallen Idol, at the begining of the season we will end with another classic.
Queen of Spades is a stylish polished melodrama adapted from the well known Pushkin short story. One of the best films of the 1940s, according to Martin Scorsese. Anton Walbrook plays an improverished military captain in 19th century Rusia resentfully out of his depth with the aristocrats of the officers' mess.
