Funny guy, ole Sergei. Met him at playing rats and mice at casino in Mexico City in the 30s. Had a haircut only a mother could love. He was a bit of a rube - had gotten all gowed-up at the Rivera house partying with the greasers and was workin' on the giggle juice by the time he ran into me, but his game was silk, and he won enough to keep makin' his "moving frescoes" for another month before Stalin dragged his ass back to Russia. Ended up drinking out of the same bottle, and he showed me a few of his flicks - the man had a rare talent, creating the concept of montage in film.
