Drawing on studio documents, press materials, and interviews with surviving film crew members, The Musical Comedy Films of Grigorii Aleksandrov presents the untold production history of the films. Salys argues that Aleksandrov's cinema draws upon the paradigms of the American musical, including its distinctive comedic tradition, using both to inscribe the foundation myths of the Stalin era in the national consciousness. As the first major study to situate these films in the cultural context of the era, this book is essential to courses on Russian cinema and Soviet culture."--P.
