Very interesting, witty comedy. At the time of the film’s release, it was bold enough for America.
There's an allusion:
... The requirement that staircases and corridors not spit and throw cigarette butts, is a trifle, a petty requirement, and meanwhile, it has a huge educational and economic value. A person who spits on the stairs or on the floor in a room is sloppy and empty. It cannot be expected to revive the economy. He won't smear the boot, and the glass will blow out by inattention, and the typhoid louse will bring in. . .
It may seem to others ... that insistence on such things is pickyness and "bureaucratism." In order to combat bureaucracy, we readily forge slobs and slobs. “The importance of throwing a cigarette butt on the stairs!” But this is rotten nonsense. Untidy throwing cigarette butts is disrespect for the work of others. And he who does not respect the work of others, treats his own dishonestly. In order for commune houses to develop, it is necessary that every tenant or tenant should pay full attention to order, cleanliness, and the interests of the house as a whole. Otherwise, you will get (and often get) lousy, spit holes, and not houses-communes. It is necessary to fight tirelessly and irreconcilably against this kind of sloppiness, unculturedness, sloppiness - to fight with word and example, preaching and demanding, exhorting and bringing to justice. He who silently passes by such facts as a spit staircase or a dirty yard, that bad citizen, that worthless builder.
Leon Davidovich Trotsky.
Revolutionary figure of the workers' movement of the XX century 1879-1940.
How correctly and tenaciously Trotsky's words are put on the basis of the film.
Be sure to watch this cool movie with a double bottom and meaning. 🤠
