Fialkin's Career

Fialkin's Career (1934) is a hand-drawn cartoon you can watch online on iFILM. Nikolai Khodataev directed it. Fialkin, a tap dancer, sets his sights on an accompanist's post at the local club — then mixes up someone else's suitcase with his own, and that small slip sends the whole plan sideways.

Ten minutes of early-1930s Soviet animation that still carries a whiff of silent-era gag comedy. A curiosity for collectors of early drawn cartoons and their everyday plots. Stream Fialkin's Career (1934) online on iFILM.
