The Zigzag of Success (1968)

Didn't expect much going into it. It is surprisingly well-tempered.

The ending is iffy, and I found myself wishing for more, but it is genuinely funny and confronts the collective reality of the Soviet society fairly head-on.

What I loved is the absolute wealth of twists in the movie. Some may count it as poverty of the premise. I think it adds to the charm.

What are your favorite quotes?

(Tell me if I got it wrong.)

Everyone knows that women can't stand other women being right. Especially if they are prettier than they.
