Drama on the Equator

Overview

Cited by Erik Barnouw and Jay Leyda, Drama on the Equator («Драма на экваторе», also Drama en el Ecuador) was among the foreign fiction films shown in Soviet cinemas during the 1920s. Though its production details remain uncertain, it was possibly a Russian retitling of the German feature Komtesse Doddy (1919, dir. Georg Jacoby, starring Pola Negri), whose plot centers on an African expedition “at the equator.” This is, however, unconfirmed.
