In 1957, 47 movies appeared on the cinema screens. And this year is also interesting because this year the first national television film was shot. It was the short film "Boots", shot after the story of A.P. Chekhov. But back to the movies. At least to the most noticeable
The three-part film "Silent Don", based on the novel by Mikhail Sholokhov
Probably this is the case when you can say that the film was a success. Gerasimov had a difficult task to accommodate such a voluminous book in three series. But he coped with it brilliantly. It is said that the first spectator of this film was Mikhail Sholokhov himself.
Second place on the basis of hire from another film adaptation - "Sisters", the first film of the trilogy "Walking on the heels"
The only drawback of this screen adaptation was that critics believed that because of the film format, the original source had to be significantly reduced, and, therefore, “could not show the full tragedy of the progressive Russian intelligentsia, which turned out to be at the junction of two epochs”
Third place in the detective tape "Night Patrol"
One of the first Soviet detective films on the topic of the fight against tsekhoviki
Fourth place in the military drama "Missing The Missing"
The year 1957 is still interesting because the Soviet Screen magazine began to hold a spectator vote this year and by the end of the year choose the best film from the point of view of its readers. And the first winner was the film "Height"
This is how the last issue of the magazine for this year looked like.
According to this reversal, let's move on to other popular films of this year.
"Cranes are Flying"
The film is a legend. Next year, in 1958, this film will take the Golden Palm in Cannes. It is interesting that during the Cannes film the name of the film was translated into French as “When storks arrive” ... But the fact is that the original name of the film in French slang means “prostitutes are stealing”
"Don Quixote"
The film is a screen version not of Cervantes' novel, but of Schwartz's play, written based on the novel.
What else is worth remembering from the films of 1957
"The house I live in"
"Catherine Voronin"
Soviet-Indian film "Going beyond three seas"
Well, enough, I think. Next in 1958
