This review is from: Gentlemen of Fortune (DVD)

As a non-Russian immigrant from the USSR, I have largely lost (unfortunately) appreciation for Soviet movies - nowadays I'll be lucky to put together two words in Russian, which has been almost entirely replaced by English.
One movie that I still watch, however, and still find gut-bustingly funny is Dzhentlemeny Udachi (this film). The acting, the humor and the Soviet propaganda just make it so delightfully hilarious (and to some extent camp), that I can't see myself not watching this film at least once a year.
There are lots of other Soviet comedies that are funny, but most of them have lost their appeal. That's not something I can say about this film which has the best replay value of all Soviet comedies - at least for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh your heart out!, November 19, 2004

This review is from: Gentlemen of Fortune (DVD)

This is one of the best comedies that were produced during the Soviet time. It's funny, pointed, and represents the best of Russian humor. All actors who play in this movie are the elite of Russian cinematography and hold a very special place in every Russian heart. Those who think of Russia as a gloomy grey place will be pleasantly surprised by this light-hearted, clean comedy, with its quotes being a staple of Russian language. What Wayne's World is for Americans, so Gentelmen of Fortune is for Russians. Strongly recommend it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best soviet era comedies, February 8, 2005

This review is from: Gentlemen of Fortune (DVD)

First time I saw this movie when it came out in 1971, I was 7 years old then. I remember, I laughed so hard I fell of the chair in movie theater. Now I don't fall of the chair just because I installed seatbelts on my couch.

What makes a soviet era movie so good is that they all have clean humor pretty much rated `G' without need for profanity and cheap jokes of today's Russian flicks trying to imitate worst of American movie culture.

This movie is still one of my favorites along with Diamond Arm and few others.
