The Composer Glinka

Kompozitor Glinka (Russian: Композитор Глинка; English literal translation, Composer Glinka; American release title Man of Music) is a 1952 Soviet biographical film directed by Grigori Aleksandrov.

The young composer Mikhail Glinka performs his new work at a soiree at Count Vielgorsky's house.

[3] When Glinka meets him, he is shocked: Rosen speaks Russian with a noticeable German accent.

The premiere is successful, but Glinka is still not entirely happy with the libretto: "Rosen wrote the wrong words".

[4] When the tsar learns that Glinka's opera Ruslan and Lyudmila is based on a subject by Pushkin, he sees it as sedition.
