We will not give their full description, but just tell the beginning of the plot. Suddenly there were those who have not yet looked at them. So, let's remember these wonderful films.

The Diamond Arm

Opens the list of comedies of the USSR, this excellent picture of Leonid Gaidai, which he shot in 1968. The protagonist Semyon Gorbunkov, who works as a modest employee in Gipryryb, goes on a tourist trip abroad on a cruise liner. Walking through the streets of the eastern city ends for him with a fall and a dislocated arm. Nearby smugglers, hearing from the slipped Gorbunkov, the password phrase "Damn it!", Counted him for a liaison. After one of them corrected the dislocation, Simon fainted.

Gentlemen of Fortune

This film could be included in the rating "New Year Comedy of the USSR", the list of which we will compose in a separate article. At the beginning of the picture there is a cartoon screensaver about the creation of similar architectural projects and the widespread distribution of absolutely identical houses and microdistricts in different cities of the country. After the credits, Pavlik begins to reflect on this with irony, going by bus to his friend Zhenya with the intention of inviting him to take a steam bath.
