Based on the Alexander Pushkin story The Captain’s Daughter, Tempest is set in Russia during the reign of Catherine the Great. A Russian ensign named Peter Griniev (Geoffrey Horne), banished by Catherine (Viveca Lindfors) to a distant outpost, saves the life of Pugachov (Van Heflin), leader of a peasant uprising. Allowed to escape, Griniev tries to warn of the Pugachov’s plans, but the Russian generals refuse to listen. When Griniev attempts to remove Pugachov’s daughter (Silvano Mangano) from harm’s way, he is accused of desertion. This time it is Pugachov’s turn to rescue Griniev by convincing Catherine that the boy is innocent of treason. Tempest compensates for its overall dullness with a few brilliantly staged battle sequences., Sprawling panorama of turbulent 18th-century Russia during Catherine the Great’s reign. Silvana Mangano, Van Heflin, Viveca Lindfors, Geoffrey Horne, Oscar Homolka, Robert Keith, Agnes Moorehead, Vittorio Gassman. Alberto Lattuada directed.
