Bulba's younger son Andry has fallen in love with Panochka since meeting her at the seminary in Kyiv. She is the daughter of the Polish provincial governor. Andry dreams of her and flees from school through a window to his beloved, climbs up a tree in front of her house and slips down the chimney into the house.
Directed by Vladimir Strizhevsky, Joseph N. Ermolieff, Taras Bulba leans on a strong ensemble — J.N. Douvan-Tarzow, Oskar Marion, Clementine Plessner — 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 adventure titles of 1924.
