[quote]Made in the tradition of French mega-serials like Les Vampires and Fantomas, this silent Russian serial offers excitement in every installment, along with some pointedly pro-Soviet propaganda. Three reporters and an office girl attempt to stop a bacteriological strike against the U.S.S.R. by some powerful western industrialists. Director Fyodor Otsep broke into film with his screenplay for 1916's Queen of Spades. Star Boris Barnet also collaborated on the screenplay and served as an assistant director. From a French print, with Italian title cards.

[quote]About the book:
It was written in 1923 under the pseudonym of "Jim Dollar" (a supposed American). Not until later was it discovered that the author was a Russian woman of Armenian ancestry.
Mess-Mend is story very much in the tradition of dime novels and pulp magazines. Full of Soviet propaganda, it became quite popular nonetheless. Its success is reflected in the fact that two sequels were written and a film adaptation was made...
My only regret in reading the book was that I don't think it will help much when I finally re-watch the film which is still only available un-translated. Although the same overall flavor is to be found in both, there appears to be some major plot variations. For instance, "Mess Mend" in the novel is an organization dedicated to "mending the mess" of capitalism. "Miss Mend", the film variation, centers around a young lady called Vivian Mend.
