Movie plot in brief
Shura was going to visit one of the republics of the mountains to collect a folklore. The hero Shura fell in love to “a sportswoman, a student, and just a beautiful girl.“Her name was Nina. But suddenly she was abducted for marry.
Naive Shurik immediately found Nina everywhere for the rescue from the old Caucasian . He wanted to help “ A prisoner of the Caucasus"..

On the set broke up the trio Vitsin — Morgunov — Nikulin.
Actors weren’t friends. During the film Morgunov began to behave shamelessly . Once he brought a girl to the film ground and Gaidai asked to leave all outsiders out of the room. The girl wanted to get up but Morgunov stopped her and said, that it doesn't apply to her. Morgunov said her that she isn`t a stranger. After that were a lot of changes in the final scenes of the film. Then Gaidai took of the film without of Morgunov. Nikulin and Vitsin stayed in the film.

The appearance of the characters in the movies.
In 1996 was born a musical film "Old songs about the main 2“. It had a big success. Aleksandr Demyanenko and Natalya Varley re-performed the role of Shurik and Nina in one of the scenes.

A remake
In 2014 published a remake for a new film “A prisoner of the Caucasus!". The film became one of the greatest failures in the history of Russian cinema. With a budget about $ 3.5 million fees it amounted nearly 180 thousand dollars. The rankings kinopoisk.ru showed that the film scored 1.1 points out of a possible 10. It was the worst movies in history of cinema.

Good Comedy
I as like the old comedy film as all people of our great country. To my mind it is a national film , that was taken in our region.
