This is an account of the socialist ant-war movement during WWI, the Bolshevik revolution and the splintered left after the war. It is also a great love story of John Reed (Beatty) and Louise Bryant (Keaton, both journalists renowned for their eye-witness reports from the early revolution. Beatty and Keaton are outstanding but I really don’t like Jack Nicholson in the role as Eugene O’Neil. What a sleaze. Loses the film a *.
