The Inspector General (1949)
"An American musical comedy based on the satirical play by Nikolai Gogol that deals with local corruption and a case of mistaken identity in early 19th century Russia. Its ambiguous sets and costumes places the study somewhere in Eastern Europe during Napoleonic rule. Perhaps because the film was produced during the onset of the Cold War, the vagueness of the setting might indicate that the producers did not want to make a comedy about Russia. This vehicle for Danny Kaye reduced the biting satire and increased the music for American audiences."
Viy (in Russian, for my dear friend Father Lawrence)
"A young priest is ordered to preside over the wake of a witch in a small old wooden church of a remote village. This means spending three nights alone with the corpse with only his faith to protect him.
"Леонид Куравлев ("Афоня", "Не может быть!") и Наталья Варлей ("Кавказская пленница, или новые приключения Шурика", "Гостья из будущего") в фильме "Вий". Мистическая фантазия, родившаяся в воображении Гоголя и воплощенная на экране одним из самых "сказочных" кинорежиссеров Александром Птушко (художественный руководитель постановки и разработчик трюков), ничуть не устарела, не потеряла своей яркости и вовсе не спроста называется фильмом ужасов. Бурсаку и Хоме - как и нам с вами - придется натерпеться страху, пока гуляет в украинской ночи неугомонная нечисть..."
It is a famous story by Nikolai Gogol.
