Truly Dreadful Film
Simply Perfect
Pretty Good
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
I was looking for this old soviet comedy for two years, as this is the debut work by very good armenian-Russian film director Albert Sarkisovich Mkrtchan (he is famous for Zemlya Sannikova and Prikosnovenie).The film is about a young lazy-bones, who goes here and there with an alcohol addict, played by great Russian comedian Vizin. They just get money and drink , but Misha (the main character) fells in love with a sweet and intelligent blondie, who teaches him to be honest and responsible.Film is very bright example of the best in soviet 70s- full of music, comic situations and fantastic actors and actress.Partly film was shot in Zelenograd, partly somewhere near the Black sea. Good beginning for great film career.
