Russian Movies Weekend #26

I know, I know, it’s been a while. But all those new games keeping falling and lack of properly subtitled/voiceovered Russian movies online… this all is making this “series” harder and harder…

Description

A very good cop tries to catch a very insidious and extremely clever serial car thief. The bitter irony is that the thief is not very clever, absolutely not insidious, and moreover – a virtuous person and his friend.

This movie ispretty old, black & white, but I like it a lot. The story, charachters and music – they are all great.
