A Hard Day's Monday

Having very skillfully organized the food production of "worse quality, but more quantity", the Tonap share partnership began to gain power. Khristoforov, the underground organization's head, is concerned about the spoiled products' sale, and he developed an operation to get closer to the city industrial council: asked for a meeting, and by Monday he ordered Stryapkov to find a gift. However, an incident occurred: the crown from the gold watch of Evlampius Kokin, a master of the sausage shop, was found in the sausage. Kokin, who had long been tormented by fear, without consulting with the leadership, came to the police himself.

Directed by Ivan Lukinsky, A Hard Day's Monday leans on a strong ensemble — Ivan Voronov, Nikolai Gritsenko, Viktor Chekmaryov — 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 comedy titles of 1964.
