The Red and the White

The Red and the White is a 1967 war drama film directed by Miklós Jancsó about the Russian Civil War. The original Hungarian title, Csillagosok, katonák, can be translated as "Stars on their Caps", which, as with a number of Jancsó film titles, is a quote from a song. The film follows Hungarian Red Army soldiers led by an ardent commander battling against the White Army in a remote Russian field near the Volga River.
