Glumov's Diary

Filmic insert to Eisenstein's modernized, free adaptation of Ostrovskiy's 19th-century Russian stage play, 'The Wise Man' ('Na vsyakogo mudretsa dovolno prostoty'). The anti-hero Glumov tries to escape exposure in the midst of acrobatics, derring-do, and farcical clowning. Several members of Eisenstein's troupe at the legendary 'Proletkult' stage theatre in Moscow briefly appear in this little film.
