Film Quiz: Lenin, Mr. Meyer

Von roger @ 09:08 [ Moving Image ]
A friend who is librarian, sent me the above picture this morning. He needs to know from which film it is.

Lenin, Herr Meyer

What he knows about the photo (which is from Edy Meyer):
On the photo's right side, you have Edy Meyer (1877-1967), the one who gets interviewed because he knew Lenin during his stay in Switzerland. On the left, we have probably the interviewer or the director.

On IMDB there is one film which could be the one, its title Lenin in Switzerland (1965). The director of the film is Grigori Aleksandrov, who is also the author of the swiss film Frauennot - Frauenglück: Das Hohelied der ärztlichen Kunst , a film which shows that it should be legal to have an abortion. Grigori Alexsandrov is well known for his collaboration with Sergei M. Eisenstein on almost all his films.

So it could be that the man on the left is Grigori Aleksandrov. Does anyone have a photo of Aleksandrov?

This is hardly the Alexandrov. Look at the chalk board which is not written in Cyrillic. By the way: does anybody really have the film "Lenin in Zurich", please contact me,

Lilith,
Non je n'ai pas trouvé la réponse jusqu'à présent. Je vous remercie mille fois.
La personne qui m'a demandé de publier cette image va être ravi.
