I'm pretty sure this was released here years ago... I HATE to keep blaming everything on the server change-over, but this movie also must have gotten lost in the shuffle..
I have the DVD somewhere. (Years ago when Brandon was still alive and running CVMC, I sent him a burn of my DVD for use at the site..

)
The movie was very slow moving and I don't think I ever finished watching it.. I'll have to dig it up, and check it out again...
Thanks, BLT for bringing this to our attention, and very cool screencaps.

I used to visit CVMC site a lot in the past. Even bought one DVD from Brandon, which, however, turned out to be total crap quality-wise (they convert PAL to NTSC, which ruins the quality). Since then I only use CVMC as a database, and only buy originals (which are normally much cheaper than CVMC copies anyway). I used to order quite a few movies from ozon.ru, until they stopped shipping to abroad. (Anybody knows another good site for buying Russian movies?)
This particular movie is not my favorite, but it is one of the few childhood movies in my collection that was not already listed, so I thought I'd add it. If anyone is interested in a rip, I can do it.

I'm impressed with '
http://www.russiandvd.com/ '. It's based in the US and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. I don't yet know how big their inventory is, but they've had quite a few movies I've been looking for.
And their shipping is pretty good too [FREE if you live in the US]; I ordered 'Yulen'ka' [
http://www.russiandvd.com/store/product ... enresubid= ] on a Sunday afternoon and received the movie by mail the following Saturday.

As an obsessive compulsive collector, I'm right there with you. Movies I find on FLM, I'll go ahead and d/load the .avi just to have it, but if I'm really interested in the movie I'll find some way to get the original DVD if it's available..

I bought a couple of DVDs from them when they were still rbcmp3.com. Another site I've used is
http://www.ruslania.com/ (located in Finland). But the movies I'm still missing, I've only found in ozon.ru

...and DVD releases of Soviet movies, when bought in Russia, often cost about the same as burning your own DVD anyway...

Send a reminder to Debaser.
willow: that was not really intended to be nasty - that's a very cute sumo wrestler.

Before the main bout, the sumo wrestlers often take on all comers for laughs, usually tiny tots dressed up like sumo wrestlers. Naturally, the little ones don't have the slightest effect on the massive wrestlers, which the crowd finds terribly amusing.
