1962 The Magnificent Seven becomes the absolute leader in film distribution in the USSR. The audience filled the cinemas, despite the harsh criticism of the film from both the authorities and cultural and cinema workers. But I was distracted again - talking about our films. There were about 90 of them this year. And our rental leader didn’t lose much to the overseas
If someone is interested in the full list of films that have appeared on screens - here is a clipping from the last issue of the Soviet Screen magazine for 1962
Well, we turn to the best films
So, if the “Magnificent Seven” gathered 67 million viewers, then our “Amphibian Man” - 65 million 400 thousand spectators. And in three years, the number of those who looked over 100 million
The film, by the way, was also heavily beaten by critics, saying "this is not art, but a third-genre, and it is unacceptable to spoil the high taste of the Soviet audience by the adventure film genre." But time has put everything in its place.
Second place in Ryazanov's "Hussar Ballad"
Musical comedy based on the play by Alexander Gladkov “Once upon a time”, about which, I think, you don’t need to tell
Third place in the Soviet-German drama "People and Beasts" dir. Sergey Gerasimov
The best film after the audience vote of the magazine "Soviet screen" was the film "Nine Days of One Year"
Alexey Batalov for his role in this film became an actor of the year. At the same time this movie has a rather modest 22 place (23.9 million viewers)
In the same year, the main prize of the Venice Film Festival took the film "Ivanovo Childhood"
In our rental, he had an even more modest 34 months (16.7 million viewers)
