A scene showing a fistfight on a bridge between salesmen and workers was omitted from this film's final cut because the crew forgot to show it at its initial screening while the director was asleep. A bass line from this film's score was lifted by John Williams for the shark attack scene in Jaws. Comic relief in this film is provided by the character Gavrilo, who wins out over Vasily in competing for Olga's heart. Among this film's many not-very-subtle anti-Catholic images are a bishop wearing a miter adorned with swastikas. This film was banned after a non-aggression pact was signed with a (*) western neighbor, but brought back into circulation as propaganda two years later, when that neighbor launched a surprise invasion. This film's score was arranged into a separately published orchestral cantata by its composer, Sergei Prokofiev. A "Battle on the Ice" is the climax of -- for 10 points -- what epic war film about a Prince of Novgorod, directed by Sergei Eisenstein?
