Gorky Film Studio A Dog was walking on the piano (Shla sobaka po royalyu) (RUSCICO)Total in Box: 1 Release Date: 1978 EAN 4606777011551 SKU 204000015716 Visitors reviews The 16-year-old Tanya Canareykina decided to drastically change her life. For starters she fell in love with a pilot who played the trumpet and had sad, dreaming eyes. Because of him, she stopped seeing Misha whom she’d known since early childhood. She did like Misha, but he wasn’t romantic at all…
Films by V. Grammatikov, the last classic of the Soviet children’s cinema, are as much enjoyed today as they were many years ago. The triumph of kindness, gentle irony and radiant humour just cannot but attract. The musical comedy “A Dog Was Walking on the Piano” repeated the box-office success of “The Mustached Nanny”, though, artistically, proved more accomplished. Somewhat strange, with an amazing craziness, seemingly realistic, but actually not, serious and funny at once – this film was clearly a forerunner of the colourful world of Emir Kusturica.
