Knight Without Armour**
(GB 1937)
In revolutionary Russia an Englishman agrees to go undercover among the Bolsheviks, and protects a countess that he has fallen in love with.
Sweeping romantic adventure, far better at conveying the political chaos in Russia than the later, more celebrated film of Doctor Zhivago, with a good international star teaming and lavish presentation - although it proved to be nearly the ruin of Korda's London Studios.
Written by: Lajos Biro, Arthur Wimperis, Frances Marion, from the novel by James Hilton.
Producer: Alexander Korda.
Director: Jacques Feyder.
Starring: Robert Donat, Marlene Dietrich, John Clements, Herbert Lomas, Austin Trevor, Basil Gill, David Tree, Hay Petrie, Peter Bull, Miles Malleson, Raymond Huntley.
Photography: Harry Stradling.
Music: Miklos Rosza.

KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR. Relations on set between Marlene Dietrich and Robert Donat could be frosty at times, but the ice melted on camera.
