That will rather be "Father of a Soldier", for precision's sake

I haven't seen that one in decades, but my memory of it is warm.

The film should also be considered in yet another historic context. Throughout most of the Soviet time, the people of Georgia were used as artificial sweeteners in many a movie.

A charismatic Georgian guy, with his lovely thick accent and expressive way of speaking can be found in many, many soviet movies - with the idea of promoting the internationalism and multi-culturalism, the Soviet style.

The Georgians also fought bravely in WWII.

Today the situation is totally reversed. If there was an outside enemy even more hated than the Americans in today's hysterical Russia, that would be the Georgians. The reasons are easily understood when looking at history of the region.

Be it as it may, you will not see another Georgian in a modern Russian movie... unless there is the role of a rotten scoundrel frying his mother over a bonfire.
