Synopsis
Novelly (1941) is a Soviet fantasy-comedy anthology you can watch online on iFILM. Director Alexander Macheret paired two literary adaptations in a single film: Hans Christian Andersen's "The Swineherd" and Prosper Mérimée's short story "Heaven and Hell."
Both stories are played for gentle comedy — satirical sketches on love and propriety, shot in colour at a time when most Soviet cinema was still black and white. The cast includes Yuri Lyubimov, Vera Altaiskaya and Yevgeny Samoylov. Stream Novelly (1941) on iFILM.
