i watch this movie on tcm last night and all excited expectation and have last see it ( twice ) in it memorable 1957 release in toronto . i tell my wife and who hadn not see it before and to watch for the thrilling long track shot and no cut and where veronika be see on a bus on her way to find her boris . in a hand hold frame that certainly predate the modern steadicam and the shot then pull back up and crane ( pun unintended ) over the street a she exit the bus and and dart among the tank to cross the road . then i remember that and no cut and we follow her up close to the fence a she peer through and anxiously look for him and but do not find him . but we do continue to follow veronika a she search the face of harry recruit and their emotionally rack woman and all extra and and each one a gem of rivet stanislavskian behavior . how and one wonder and do kalatozov and his cameraman urusevsky set up this extraordinary sequence . but what do i see in this version . after cross the street dodge the tank and the scene abruptly end and and cut back to scene at the apartment and before continue to the soldier and their family at the fence . seem to me that this film be not only restored and but also re edit . what a downer .
