A legendary Soviet film set during the Russian Civil War about the fate of war veteran Sukhov, who faces the unexpected task of protecting a harem from the revenge of rebel leader Abdullah. Screenwriting legend Rustam Imbragimbekov (a guest at SFS 2006, author of, for example, Burnt by the Sun and The Barber of Siberia) was just starting out in his career and the final form shows it; a rather unbalanced blend of comedy and drama. The comedic first half, whose humour is based primarily on the contrast of a military drill vs. the fragile women of the harem, is watchable in one breath. The second half drops its grotesqueness, takes on an unexpectedly serious tone, adds heroic deaths, a bit of unnecessary pathos and a lot of shooting. Add to that the somewhat confusing editing and you get a little film that you will appreciate in one viewing, but it won't win your heart.
