Note de robert-171
Without a doubt the funniest thing to come out of America. It also sums up the time when it was made and I can't see anything similar ever being made again.
As children we watched it but now as I watch it again and again I realize that I never got the jokes the first few times through anyway.
e.g. Agarn needs to see the medicine man at the Indian camp to find out whether he's a kleptomaniac so the medicine man gives him some deer skins to look at that have berry blots on them (i.e. a Rorschach test) and asks him what he sees. In explanation the medicine man say that this test was invented by a great Indian medicine man called Roaring Chicken. For short they call it the RoarChick Test!! Now that is clever AND funny.
Many other similarly clever jokes. Great scenes of pathos with lots of sentimentality before the days of the studio audience which nowadays bursts into sickening applause over that sort of thing. Catch it if you've never seen it... or watch it again if you have. It's still funny.

The film is set in western Ukraine. It's one of a relatively small number of films that were made in Ukrainian. The plot is basically about a Ukrainian émigré that comes back to his village in Ukraine after many years away. There are some interesting scenes of some strange new year festival.
As is usual for most soviet films of this era - well the Ukrainian ones at least - the plot jumps all over the place. Besides the return of the rich patriarch, there's also a sub-plot centering around the local beauty that all the young men in the village are after. Considered a great film in Ukraine... not sure anyone else will think so. The film is actually in Ukrainian, NOT Russian as indicated in the notes on IMDb.
