"The Cranes are Flying," so I'm feeling a little battered, also, by that war. Tatyana S, as Veronica, is astounding. I thought she looked familiar and see she also starred in, "Letter Never Sent," and "Anna Karenina." Quite a résumé!
Follow Ups:
How did I overlook this? 8.3 IMDB, 1 Hr 35 min, Russian, backdrop of WWII. When we get bk from the lake Thursday this is gonna get put in the queue, provided I can find it.

"E Burres Stigano?"
every time I see that film title I think of 'The Snow Goose'
and then want to listen to the Camel record based on the tale
regards,
The quality of a Youtube copy was awful, I wonder if a better one exists someplace... but the movie was rewarding - quiet, insightful, very human. Both Richard Harris and Jenny Agutter are pleasure to watch, and the corny story looks not corny at all.
info on the title at IMDB:
Jenny Agutter won an Emmy for her portrayal of Fritha
according to a few reviewers it's unavailable in other formats despite other Hallmark TV movies of lesser merit being so ... it has an 8.2 IMDB average rating, a marquee actor, won an award etc. so that's odd - my search results seem to confirm this
the screenplay for the Hallmark production was written by the author
the album by Camel is some very nice 'new age' style music and I pretty much despise the genre with very few exceptions, cinematic use being one ... it's also quite a bit out of character for the group
anyway, I'm glad my mention of the title piqued your interest and you found that vid title ... I was unaware of it and will give it a look
best regards,
I know male heart always responds to female beauty first and foremost, but Batalov was a wonderful actor with many great works to his credit. His Boris was vulnerable, gentle and ah, so human... His departure scene is something I shall never forget.The circular camera motion was done there for the first time, and it became a classical masterstroke.
Also, I wanted to add, that the soviet war films of that era were honest and humanist, unlike the current wave that is simply shameless propaganda.

film's power could absorb his loss; I thought his was the best performance (among a host of excellent ones!). I knew I'd seen him before, but couldn't remember. An IMDB check showed, "The Lady with the Dog" and "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears." Wonderful characterizations.
But I liked him VERY much in Nine Days of One Year - a very good film, also has Smoktunovsky there. Directed by Michail Romm... not sure where you can find it though.
