The tale was one of my childhood favorites. Its adaptation preserves the spirit of period, the Russian rich style of details and surprises and magic , the fair and, almost, familiar portrait of the hero , nice choice for the bad guy and the so expected end. Significant - all the colors and flavors of the tale are present in this admirable adaptaion.

Fairytale from Mother Russia
Leofwine_draca17 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
FINEST, THE BRAVE FALCON is another fairytale from Mother Russia. The hero is a little in the style of Robin Hood although the production has magical trappings and is set in a quasi-mystical landscape. The story is once again heroism vs. tyranny and the bald baddie makes quite the impression. As usual, Soviet ideals are espoused throughout, and the heroes manage to overcome imprisonment and oppression to win the day. It's a pretty eventful little movie, one which is unfortunately spoilt by an appalling English overlay dub in which they've left the Russian dialogue playing quietly in the background, which is really distracting.
