About The Marriage of Balzaminov
Moscow, XIX century. A small official Misha Balzaminov lives in a small house. He, like his mother, sees his happiness in marrying a rich bride. Misha images in dreams and fantasies that he is a general or even a king — rich and domineering. In reality, poor Balzaminov is haunted by setbacks.
Directed by Konstantin Voinov, The Marriage of Balzaminov leans on a strong ensemble — Georgiy Vitsin, Lyudmila Shagalova, Lidiya Smirnova — 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.
