Kirk would take a large group of actors and technicians with him (as many as the Russians will allow), but the majority of the cast would be Russian, including one of the top female stars. "There are some good looking actresses over there," Kirk declared, "and the Russians have told us we can choose whomever we wish. Naturally, the girl would have to learn English but that wouldn't take long." The actor, whose real name is Issur Danielovitch, the son of Russian parents, said the Soviets already have evinced interest in "The a $4 million Scandinavian epic that Kirk recently produced in Norway.
