Chess Fever (1925)
Directed by Vsevolod
Pudovkin & Mykola Shpikovsky this film stars Vladimir Fogel and
Anna Zemtsova. A young man obsessed with chess finds it getting in
the way of his relationship with the woman he loves.
A fairly simple comedy
looking at the Russian obsession with chess I found the ending of the
film a slight disappointment but otherwise not a bad watch. Maybe not
as funny as it could be the film certainly captures something of the
chess fever though. Decently made and acted this is worth a watch.
3/5
