I love this movie. I have a copy of it and I can watch it several times a month. I think that every woman (no matter what age) would want to be looked so adoringly at as Rybnikov looks at Ivanova in the last moments of the movie. This is a movie of my childhood and I may not be objective. But the actors are really good in it and sincerity and naivety of the story is just wonderful. Nina Ivanova had a short part in Ryasanov's "Easy Life" (Leghaya Zhisn) where she played the same part of Tatiana Sergeevna by then married to Alexander Savchenko (Rybnikov's part). I wonder how all that came around. May be that question should be directed to Eldar Ryasanov. Does anyone know about Ivanova's life? Is she still alive?
