The best films of Soviet cinema. 1968



We continue to remember the best films of Soviet cinema. The year is 1968. It can be called the year of scouts (well, or spies) in Soviet cinema - 4 pictures of this genre in the leaders of the rental. But not only is the year glorious. Welcome to the film tour to the past


The leader of the rental at the end of the year was Vladimir Basov's adventure film about military intelligence officers - "The Shield and the Sword"



68 million viewers - such a result of the first year of the rental is a film adaptation of Vadim Kozhevnikov. It was, probably, the first film in which German officers were shown as smart and cunning rivals. By the way, in the general list of leaders of the Soviet film distribution this film stands on the 8th place



Second place for another picture about the scouts of the war - "Strong in spirit" (55 million viewers)



Also a film adaptation of the same novel by Dmitry Medvedev. That's only if Belov-Weiss from "The Shield and Sword" is a fictional character with his prototypes, then the hero of "Strong in Spirit", Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov, a real person



Third place in the musical comedy "Trembita" (51 million viewers)





The fourth is for the heavy military drama "The Indian Kingdom" (49.6 million viewers)





And on the fifth - another film about scouts. "The Way to Saturn" (48.21 million viewers)




The best film of the year, according to the results of the audience's vote of the magazine "Soviet Screen" was recognized as the melodrama "We'll Live To Monday", which took 18th place in the box office





You ask, where's another movie about scouts? After all, I promised 4 films in the lead. They became a spy detective "Resident's error" (who took 14th place at the box office)





In general, it should be noted that the theme of the Great Patriotic War is passing through many films of this year. This can be seen in the top five rental companies (including Trembit). And to other films released this year: "The Chronicle of the Dive Bomber," "Spring on the Oder," "Doctor Vera," "Die Hard"





To them you can add films about the Civil War: "Two Companions Served," "There Is No Fire in the Fire," "The Seventh Satellite," "Iron Stream"





What else can be noted from this year's films. Of course, the exit to the screens of a wonderful tape "Golden Calf".



This is now considered a classic. But then Schweizer was for him not a little bit. Bit for the fact that he made a funny film in a funny book



A couple of wonderful melodramas: "Three poplars on Plyushchikha" and "Once again about love"





Kira Muratova's drama "Short Encounters"





The first adaptation of "Solaris" by Lem on TV





And the "Intervention" on the shelf (Vysotsky this year to the indecency a lot)




But I think that's enough. Next to the year 1969
