Stalingrad (1990 film) The film was the first Soviet-American co-production in the Perestroika era. The film was poorly received, and it was Ozerov's first work which failed to secure any nominations since 1958. At 1993, the director used footage from "Stalingrad" for the frame story of his last film, "Angels of Death", about a sniper duel taking place during the battle for the city. Montage from "Stalingrad" was also included in two TV anthologies of select material from Ozerov's films, "The Tragedy of the Twentieth Century" and "The Great Captain Georgy Zhukov". Ronald Lacey makes an appearance as Winston Churchill. Stalingrad (1990 film)
