vladimir_egorytchev I am curious so few comments here …this is truly great film and became classics.The movie portraits Soviet 'ottepel'' period but is not about politics-It is about Moscow, sincere human relations, freedom, youth, idealism, great actors' play, great song - 'A ya idu shagau po Moskve i ya proiti eshe smogu!…'.I like the spirit of the movie (freedom) which has been copied thousands of times in other Russian movies but neither succeeded.So, honestly, find and see this movie!My rating: 10/10.
