A musical film based upon A. S. Pushkin’s fairy tale “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights”.
The tale narrated by Innokenty Smoktunovsky.
Viewers’ comments in the Internet:
“This film is a terrific example of how just 3 pages of Pushkin’s text can be made into a fascinating 90-minute spectacle. And the music! – One listens to it as to an independent, accomplished work. And, certainly, Smoktunovsky is just superb! Amazingly, even his voiceover makes you appreciate the genius of this Master. Many thanks to the film director!”
“Wonderful film – great actors, excellent cinematography. Perhaps it’s the best fairy tale ever made in Soviet cinema.”
