i watched this movie on tcm last night and all excited expectation and having last seen it (twice) in its memorable 1957 release in toronto. i told my wife and who hadn not seen it before and to watch for the thrilling long tracking shot and no cuts and where veronika is seen on a bus on her way to find her boris. in a hand held frame that certainly predates the modern steadicam and the shot then pulls back up and cranes (pun unintended) over the street as she exits the bus and and darts among the tanks to cross the road. then i remember that and no cuts and we follow her up close to the fence as she peers through and anxiously looking for him and but does not find him. but we do continue to follow veronika as she searches the faces of harried recruits and their emotionally racked women and all extras and and each one a gem of riveting stanislavskian behavior. how and one wonders and did kalatozov and his cameraman urusevsky set up this extraordinary sequence. but what did i see in this version. after crossing the street dodging the tanks and the scene abruptly ended and and cut back to scenes at the apartment and before continuing to the soldiers and their families at the fence. seems to me that this film was not only restored and but also re edited. what a downer.
