Джентльмены удачи

Dzhentlemeny udatshi (Finnish transliteration) /Dzhentlmeny udachi (English transliteration) / Onnensoturit / Tre äventyrare / Gentlemen of Fortune. SU 1971. PC: Mosfilm. D: Aleksandr Seryi. SC: Georgi Danelia, Viktorija Tokareva. Starring Jevgeni Leonov (Troshkin / the Docent). 88 min. A vintage print with Finnish / Swedish subtitles by Ulla-Liisa Heino / Jutta Leffkowitsch viewed at Cinema Orion, Helsinki, 10 June 2008. - Clean print, soft definition, colour intact. - I watched the funny start only of the comedy, where a tender kindergarten teacher gets the mission to go undercover into jail masking as a tough gangster, who is his identical double. An original variation of the idea familiar from the Columbia classic The Whole Town's Talking (1935) written by Robert Riskin and W.R. Burnett, and directed by John Ford.
