Forest People of Siberia (Russian). The Udes are a people without a country. They have only a land—the vast pitted deltas, the gelid rivers, the forests of Ussirsky. Over this they wander periodically, as if not quite convinced that every corner of it is alike. Some freemason Soviet cameraman photographed their hunts and travels in a local-color picture which is well-made and interesting though a little tedious. One Ude kills a boar with a rifle. Another with a long spear waits beside a bush for a leaf to rustle, and when the bush turns into a bear and scrambles a few dismayed steps to a sapling which in his terror he pitifully tries to climb, the Ude secures material for a feast. Best shot: a Ude seeing his own cinematic image.
