Cigarette
Girl of Mosselproma
As
she works in her tedious office job, Maria Ivanovna
dreams about being married, and she has particular
hopes that her co-worker Nikodim Mityushin will
take an interest in her. Nikodim, though, is in
love with Zina, who sells cigarettes on the sidewalk,
and he frequently buys cigarettes from her even
though he does not smoke. One day, a film crew uses
Zina as an extra in an outdoor scene, and the cameraman,
Latugin, falls in love with her. Latugin soon arranges
an acting job for Zina. To complicate matters further,
Zina has yet another admirer in Oliver MacBride,
an American businessman who is visiting Moscow.
Directed by Yuri Zhelyabuzhsky, this charming silent
comedy captures a time and place not many Russian
films did.
