Near the beginning of this film is one of the most memorable and famed tracking shots in film history. For nearly a whole minute, the camera, beginning at one end of a very long table full of a feast, draws back and back, "pulling" the viewer down the center of the table through candlesticks, dinnerware, plates of meats, vegetables, breads, roasted pig, pheasants, and other delicacies. until it stops at the other end, showing the entire feast end to end in one shot, all while Russian military men rejoice with a Russian folk song.
