Written (with Trevor Griffiths), produced and directed by, and starring Warren Beatty, REDS premieres to impressive reviews. The film is inspired by the life of John Reed, an American journalist -turned Communist activist whose best-selling book, Ten Days That Shook The World, provided a graphic, first-hand account of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Diane Keaton co-stars as Reed's long-suffering love interest, while Jack Nicholson's Eugene O'Neil completes the romantic triangle.,
