The film adores to review many of those who are already completely over, and their descendants, who have not yet seen it, do not want to be present at the same time: the coming sound range does not leave hope that the film can be anything but suede-Soviet. But on close acquaintance such expectations the film - a well-made multi-figure love story - deceives. Very expressive Nina Ivanova (the image of the legendary and conscientious Soviet teacher, able to teach literacy to anyone); a charming episode when the highly cultured main character, listening to Rachmaninov's concert (a letter - yes! - ordered by her for broadcast on the radio), completely forgets about the hero-staller who came to her only - curiously in the film is his awareness of class boundaries. Vladimir Gulyaev is remembered as a negative character.
The pearl of Soviet cinema, the test of time passed successfully. Of course, the steelworkers in the film are hairdressed and never fabricators, an exemplary “first of all, the working class”: they compose poems about overfulfillment of the production plan and are tormented by the desire to make a rational proposal that increases the efficiency of the technical process – a tribute to the standards established for Soviet cinema.
