About The Squadron Turns Westward
The action takes place in Odesa in 1918-1919. At the request of General Denikin, a French squadron arrives in Odesa to restore order in the city. Odesa Bolsheviks are trying to convince the sailors to leave the city. At the center of the story is the heroic fate of Frenchwoman Jeanne-Marie Lyabourb (1877-1919), shot by French interventionists.
Directed by Miron Bilinskiy, Mykola Vinhranovskyi, The Squadron Turns Westward leans on a strong ensemble — Elza Lezhdey, Nelli Lazareva, Adolf Shestakov — 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 drama titles of 1966.
