Mosselpromin tupakkatyttö

For the first few years after the Bolsheviks came to power, Soviet cinema was mainly socialist realism. They took a bit of a different spin with Yuri Zhelyabuzhsky's "Papirosnitsa ot Mosselproma" ("The Cigarette Girl from Mosselprom" in English). This light comedy centers on the relationships between a couple of people in Moscow.

I had hoped to see the Russian intertitles, but the version that I watched only had English ones. No matter, it was still a fun movie. Sometimes I wonder what it would've looked like had the Soviet Union made horror movies or over-the-top slapstick comedies. Hell, I would've liked to see a Soviet mix of live-action and animation (like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit").
