Love surprises or the story of how Beethoven's Fifth Symphony smashed a German mine! I had a CD I had bought a couple of years ago with Allegro with Fire, lying there waiting for its time. I waited. Wow, what a movie, I will tell you, made Vladimir Strelkov. From the first minute it does not catch, but then it is so exciting that you can not stop watching. And goose skin covers the body from what it sees. I agree with one of the reviewers that this movie is one of the best about the war. A movie in which the fascists, as such, we will not see, except for a couple of planes, but which penetrates thoroughly. By the way, this film is the debut in the movie of actor Viktor Mikhailov. A very good and slightly underrated actor. About 5-6 years ago, Viktor Mikhailov came to our city with an entreprise, the name of which I forgot, but the actor remembered, so I bought a CD with the film Allegro with Fire.
I'm sorry for the backlash, I just had some memories. Now, of course, about the movie itself. There is a war on the Black Sea coast. 1941. The Germans mined the fairway and ours at all costs should not just detonate these mines, but extract them and learn the nature of their impact, how they work, explore in general. For this purpose, the command of the fleet gathers a group of sailors led by a military engineer of the second rank Mikhail Ivanovich Ivankov (Vladimir Zamansky). And the interesting part begins. Before this gathering, we will see one scene that is very expensive to watch. Here we go. All the sailors perform their functions, everything can be said in foam, in soap, and one graduate lieutenant sent undressed to his underpants, went to the sea, started a gramophone with Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and began conducting. Naturally, he was noticed and sent to the authorities. The scene causes a smile and says that the director is not deprived of a healthy sense of humor. Well, then tragedy follows. I will not dwell on those tragic moments, but they are by the force of the impact.
The film is brilliant. Here and the presence of detective intrigue and the unpredictability of the storyline and all this is crowned by music, and even what. And not only Beethoven, but throughout the whole picture great musical accompaniment. A truly skillful mix of genres. For all lovers of true patriotic cinema! This is one of my favorites!
