I wish I understood Russian, so that I could make sense of this 1935 Russian film featuring a mechanical man remote-controlled via saxophone. Apparently the capitalists take control of the invention and turn it on the workers, at least temporarily. The climax features the workers gaining control of the machines and using them to fight together against the evil capitalists.
The story is obviously inspired by Rossum’s Universal Robots, the 1921 Czech play that introduced the world to the word “Robot”.
