Set in the late 1920's Soviet Union, Ostap Bender and Ippolit "Kisa" Vorobyaninov are after stash of diamonds hidden in one of the chairs in 12-chair set. They are forced to go on a cross-country chase when the chairs are auctioned of. Written by Eugene <lorus@worldnet.att.net>
This later version of Ilf and Petrov's book is really poor. I can't think of a worse actor for the role of Bender. Though Mironov is definitely a great actor his vision of Ostap is like comparing stupid Disney cartoons to Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies). He is the worst Bender of Soviet Cinema (the new worst Ostap is Nikolai Fomenko...)
Though this version is almost twice as long as Gaidai's this one somehow manages to tell less than the earlier one! The necessary scenes are shortened while the unnecessary ones are unbelievably stretched and boring.
Waste of talent.
A Dissappoinment.
Watch this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065670/ Version and you will not regret it. And as a "sequel" try to watch Zolotoi Telenok with Yourski - he is the Best Ostap Bender ever.
