Keep Smiling, Sovkino Release

A runaway-racer comedy, sold in Moscow.

What

A Sovkino chromolithograph for the 1925 American comedy, released in the USSR as "Racer Against His Will".

Why

American slapstick filled Soviet screens through the 1920s, and Sovkino gave each import a poster of its own.

Notice

The Russian title renames the film around its chase: the racer who never meant to race.

“Imported comedy with a Moscow accent”
