A film musical directed by Georgy Shengelaya, "Melodies is a cheerful divertissement set in old-time Tiflis, with large-scale ensembles lavishly staged in colour and wide-screen. Although a little too cute and broad at times, it is an interesting experiment with more than a nod towards M-G-M musicals, yet imbued with a national feeling which emerges in both the costuming and the catchy music." --British Film Institute
