The Plot to Kill Stalin

Directed by Delbert Mann

With Melvyn Douglas, Eli Wallach, Oskar Homolka, E.G. Marshall and Luther Adler

In late 1952, an aging and increasingly paranoid Stalin puts in motion a purge against his doctors, with antisemitic overtones. His lackeys, including Khrushchev, Molotov and Beria, fear it will spread to the Politburo, and plan to strike first.
