She Loves You

She Loves You (1956) is a Soviet comedy you can watch online on iFILM, co-directed by Semyon Derevyansky and Rafael Suslovich.

Kanareikyn works at the zoo, barely speaks above a whisper, and falls for the girl on a magazine cover — a champion sprinter he's never met. He writes her a letter. His photographer friend fumbles with envelopes and slips in a photo of the wrong man: a handsome singer who is Kanareikyn's precise opposite in every way. The resulting mix-up unspools at an easy comic pace that's entirely dependent on Georgy Vitsyn's gift for playing men at war with their own shyness. A young Alexander Shirvindt appears in an early role. Watch She Loves You online on iFILM.
