Carnival Night(1956)

Young workers at a Soviet House of Culture rehearse for a New Year’s Eve performance, but the director wants to turn the fun and dancing into a boring official event. He has to be stopped.

The highest-grossing film of 1956 was also the movie debut of both director Eldar Ryazanov and actress Lyudmila Gurchenko. It also gave the country one of its most popular New Year songs “5 minutes.” The movie was a New Year’s Eve TV regular, until it was replaced by 'The Irony of Fate'.
