 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Turning Point (Великий перелом) is a 1945 film from the Soviet Union, directed by Fridrikh Ermler.It's a fictionalized account of the battle of Stalingrad. As the film opens the Russians are in desperate trouble. It seems certain that Germans, who are bearing down on the city with all their might, will capture Stalingrad. And after they capture the city, they may wheel north and take Moscow.Enter Col. General Muravyov, a dynamic commander who has been charged with saving the city. As he explains to his staff upon taking command, his goal is not just to stop the Germans, but to defeat them.One of eleven films to win the Palme d'Or in 1946; Cannes was making up for lost time after World War II interrupted the ceremony for five years.Not to be confused with 1977 American ballet drama The Turning Point.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Drowning My Sorrows: Krivenko gets good and drunk after Muravyov relieves him of command of the forces inside the city. It turns out that Muravyov was saving him to lead one of the attacking armies in Muravyov's great envelopment.

 Disposable Woman: There's one brief scene in which Muravyov meets his wife—the chaos of war has separated them for a while, as he's on active duty and she's a civilian nursing volunteer. Soon thereafter we learn that Mrs. Muravyov was killed. The whole point of this is only to demonstrate how tough Muravyov is, as he powers through a staff meeting after getting the news, only to break down after everyone leaves.

 Battle in the Rain: Most of the film focuses on Muravyov at headquarters but there is a scene of Russian and German soldiers fighting hand-to-hand in a pouring rainstorm.
