A film by Sergei Bondarchuk, a screen version of the novel of the same name by M. Sholokhov. The best film on the survey of the magazine "Soviet Screen" in 1976.The film tells about several days of brutal fighting, when a handful of brave men stood to death under continuous bombing and tank attacks. On the approaches to Stalingrad, bloodless, exhausted Soviet troops lead heavy defensive battles, bearing huge losses ... They are all bright people, different in profession, age, temperament and nationality. In a brief respite between the battles, they say about the war and its lessons, they recall a peaceful life. The tragic tension of the battle is replaced by scenes full of humor and crafty podnachek. But the basic idea still remains the exploits of ordinary soldiers and manifestations of love for their native land.Starring: Vasily Shukshin, Vyacheslav Tikhonov, Sergei Bondarchuk, Georgy Burkov, Yuri Nikulin, Ivan Lapikov, Nikolai Gubenko, Andrei Rostotsky, Nikolay Volkov, Nikolai Shutko, Yevgeny Samoylov, Nonna Mordyukova, Innokenty Smoktunovsky.Director: Sergey Bondarchuk.Script writer: Sergey Bondarchuk.Composer: Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov.Production designer: Felix Yasyukevich.
