Trivia
Instead of casting a Soviet actress for the role of Nadya, director/co-writer Eldar Ryazanov chose Barbara Brylska, a Pole, which caused controversy in the Soviet Union. Brylska spoke Russian with a heavy accent so her voice was dubbed by Valentina Talyzina, who appears in the film herself as Nadya's friend.

Goofs
The service phone number on Nadya's elevator is 241-84-44 and has 7 digits. However, phone numbers in Leningrad had only 6 digits in 1975 (whereas Moscow numbers had 7), thus revealing that the shooting was actually done in Moscow instead of Leningrad.

Quotes
Zhenya: 3rd Constructors St., 25, apartment 12, 4th floor.
Taxi driver: I don't care if it's the 5th!

Available in English?

This is a great movie. If you've ever spent any time in Russia, you know that the premise is not too far-fetched, considering the post-war Soviet cookie-cutter construction techniques. I wish I could watch it every New Year.

Can anyone tell me if an English version--preferably subtitled, but I'd settle for dubbed--is available?
