Иванов катер
Mark Osepyan

В тесном кубрике катера, капитаном которого давно ходит Иван Бурлаков и где матросом работает Еленка, вовсе не в шутку называемая им женой, появляется новый работник - помощник капитана Сергей. Внешне энергичный и открытый, он быстро добивается любви Еленки. И также быстро - увольнения Ивана... Решением Госкино СССР картине была установлена четвертая группа по оплате, что явилось официальным основанием ее "замораживания". В 1987 году фильм восстановлен и выпущен на экран.

Бессмертный гарнизон
Eduard Tisse, Zakhar Agranenko
Vasili Makarov, Vladimir Yemelyanov
The Immortal Garrison is set in June of 1941, at the outset of the Nazi invasion of Russia. A group of Soviet servicemen, languidly biding their time at the Brest fortress on the Polish border, are suddenly galvanized into action. All desires to return home to their wives and sweethearts are swept aside as the courageous garrison unites to thwart a common enemy. The siege of Brest has served as story material for countless Russian films: in lieu of contradictory evidence, Immortal Garrison must be adjudged the best of these films. For its American release, Immortal Garrison was double-featured with another Soviet production, The Mexican.
