For an over 60 year old film now, the dialogue and story has aged incredibly well. It should not feel as old as it is. Outstanding performances from all main actors and the villain is one of the worst put to screen. Enjoy with loved ones.
Watch just for DeNiro's portrayal of Max Caddy. One of the best villain motives of all time. And of course Scorsese direction. Rich dialogue and prime cinematography.
There are a lot of liberties taken because Vertinsky himself destroyed all his personal archives prior to 1943 when he returned to the Soviet Union. What we do know is presented well and he did have a lot of relationships with famous women. My only issue is with some of the editing and time jumps. It was a very interesting life though.
