(Its a movie about John Reed,a famous yankie commie who eye witnessed the Oct Revol'n and wrote the book "10 Days that Shocked the World' .He was one of 3 yanks who were buried in Kremlin )
that most of the yankie 'leftists' are just 'boutiqe' leftists.Reed was an exception that he actually was a card carrying party member and died in the process.
After Reed's death, his 'socialist' wife Louise Bryant moved to Paree, married a very rich man Bullitt(who later became 1st US ambassador to USSR), led a luxuary upper class life ,became a drunk and died unhappily a few years later.
