Chess Fever

After the propoganda has settled, it's nice to know that the Russian's could also makes some amusing non-political comedies. Pudovkin also made this film that at just over a half-hour in length, doesn't outstay its welcome. It's about a man who is obsessed with chess and a woman who can't seem to get away from it. It has some pretty funny moments that remind you of America's great silent comedians.
