About Neva Melodies
A young designer Alyosha (Alexey Kozhevnikov) decided to write a musical review. He had already decided that the characters in this review would look like his friends Vasya and Masha, but what kind of plot should he come up with? And, reflecting on this, the author wanders through the streets of Leningrad. Vasya and Masha recently got married, and from the outside it seems that they have cloudless happiness. Meanwhile, a conflict is brewing in the newlyweds' family.
Directed by Iosif Shapiro, Neva Melodies leans on a strong ensemble — Aleksey Kozhevnikov, Boris Matyushkin, Grenada Mnatsakanova — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1959.
