- TriviaThis was the first Warner Brothers film to begin with Max Steiner's famous fanfare, which had a bombastic beginning and, by design, no end, as it was meant to transition into the main title of whichever picture it introduced.

Featured review
Sometimes it is hard to enjoy a movie considering what's going on, both during the Stalin era and the Putin era.
(1937) Tovarich
COMEDY
Adapted from the play by Jacques Deval produced and directed by Anatole Litvak that has Grand Duchess, Tatiana Petrovna Romanov (Claudette Colbert) and her Prince, Mikail Alexandrovitch Ouratieff (Charles Boyer) attempt to elude capture from the Russian Revolution, to prevent returning a large sum of money intended for the Russian cause. They escape to Paris where they pose as butler and maid employed by the Dupont family of Fermonde (Isabel Jeans) and her husband Charles (Melville Cooper) and their two children, Helene (Anita Louise) and Georges (Maurice Murphy). It is not the matter of who's going to discover them but a question of when. The title "Tovarich" as the movie is called is the Russian word for "comrade" or "friend". Basil Rathbone also stars as the Soviet commissar, Dimitri Gorotchenko.
