Red Army

At the Myrna Loy

Grade: A

Our independent movie house was founded upon the legacy of local legends like Myrna Loy and Gary Cooper.

How fitting, then, that the Myrna Loy Center would showcase Red Army, a critically acclaimed documentary, executive-produced by one of Helenas own, Liam Satre-Meloy. Satre-Meloy will be present at both screenings of Red Army today, with Q&A sessions after both screenings. The Myrna will also host an opening-night reception.

Red Army is the latest proof that trees with Helena roots can grow plenty tall.

Most of us who were sports fans in the 1970s and 1980s know the myth of the Soviet Unions legendary hockey team, The Red Army.

The Red Army team was a puzzling contradiction.

On the one hand, the players skated with the elegance of Russian ballerinas -- weaving and passing with artistic finesse.

On the other hand, the Red Army team was trained in a system reminiscent of the Soviet Gulag camps.
