Curiosidades

The Thirteen is a 1937 Soviet epic Ostern action adventure film directed by Mikhail Romm. Starring Ivan Novoseltsev and Yelena Kuzmina, it depicts a group of Red Army soldiers and civilians who fight to defend an essential desert well from a group of Basmachi bandits in Central Asia. The film was commissioned by Joseph Stalin as a Soviet adaptation of John Ford's film The Lost Patrol.

Production

Stalin, who personally oversaw Soviet cinema, greatly admired John Ford’s 1934 film The Lost Patrol. Although he frequently intervened in the filmmaking process, he was usually guided by broad ideological principles rather than personal preferences. In this instance, Stalin commissioned Boris Shumyatsky, the head of the Main Directorate of the Cinema and Photo Industry, to produce a Soviet version of the film.

The film was shot between February and August 1936 in the Karakum Desert, 15 km from Ashgabat. The only female role was played by Yelena Alexandrovna Kuzmina, who became Mikhail Romm’s wife after working on the film.

Romm’s work can be described as one of the first Soviet "desert films" or Osterns (films depicting the struggle against the Basmachi).
