About A Crack in the Ice
A comedy about injustice set in St Petersburg in 1839. The Tsar has tightened up security and mounted a round-the-clock guard at his palace - the Peter and Paul Fortress. Unfortunately for Private Postnikov, he hears the cries of a drowning man and goes to his rescue. The rest follows.
Directed by Anthony Garner , A Crack in the Ice leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Hordern, Freddie Jones, Michael Bryant — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1985.
