Based on the vaudeville by M. Staritsky

Svirid Petrovich Golokhvasty had his own barbershop in town and a reputation of a dandy. Once, after losing everything he had at cards, he decided to remedy his financial situation by a profitable marriage. A rich but ugly girl named Pronya Serko fell for the illustrious suitor’s courtship…

One of the best national comedies – you can watch it again and again – it never fails to lift your spirits. Here is a lucky confluence of the great literary source, the charm of an authentic Ukrainian color, the talented cast’s performance full of sparkling humor, and something else, so elusive and hard to define, yet, definitely, indispensable for making a true masterpiece.…Years after, the film’s jokes and puns would still be remembered, a monument to the lead characters of the popular picture would be put up on the Andreyevsky Hill (with a never-ending throng of tourists coming), and for a 2003 New Year program the TV Channel One would produce a musical remake of it starring the most popular personalities of Russian show business (Alla Pugachyova, Verka-Serdyuchka, Maxim Galkin).

По одноименному водевилю М. Старицкого.
Свирид Петрович Голохвастый держал в городе собственную цирюльню и слыл большим модником. Однажды, проигравшись в карты, он решил поправить свои дела выгодной женитьбой. Богатая, но очень некрасивая девица Проня Серко с радостью приняла ухаживания блестящего кавалера… Одна из лучших отечественных комедий – смотреть ее можно сколько угодно – настроение поднимается неизменно. Тут все как-то счастливо соединилось: и гениальная литературная основа, и очарование настоящего украинского колорита, и полная искрометного юмора игра талантливых актеров, и что-то еще, неуловимое, трудноформулируемое, но, несомненно, обязательное для рождения настоящего шедевра.…Пройдут годы: шутки и остроты из этого фильма не забудутся, на Андреевском спуске в Киеве главным персонажам любимой картины установят памятник (около которого всегда будут толпиться туристы), а для одной из новогодних программ 2003 г. Первый Канал снимет музыкальный римейк с участием самых популярных звезд российского шоу-бизнеса (Аллы Пугачевой, Верки-Сердючки, Максима Галкина).

Bogataja, no ochen nekrasivaja devitsa Pronja Serko s radostju prinjala ukhazhivanija blestjaschego kavalera… Odna iz luchshikh otechestvennykh komedij – smotret ee mozhno skolko ugodno – nastroenie podnimaetsja neizmenno. Tut vse kak-to schastlivo soedinilos: i genialnaja literaturnaja osnova, i ocharovanie nastojaschego ukrainskogo kolorita, i polnaja iskrometnogo jumora igra talantlivykh akterov, i chto-to esche, neulovimoe, trudnoformuliruemoe, no, nesomnenno, objazatelnoe dlja rozhdenija nastojaschego shedevra.…Projdut gody: shutki i ostroty iz etogo filma ne zabudutsja, na Andreevskom spuske v Kieve glavnym personazham ljubimoj kartiny ustanovjat pamjatnik (okolo kotorogo vsegda budut tolpitsja turisty), a dlja odnoj iz novogodnikh programm 2003 g.
