Happy New Year !!! 
Karnavalnaya noch , Carnival Night (1956) Eldar Ryazanov
The old guard head of a Soviet ‘culture palace’ attempts to change the planned New Year’s Eve show into something more serious and educational . The young employees of the House of culture had prepared the entertainment program which included a lot of dancing and singing a jazz band performance and even magic tricks.
This was the first feature from the great Soviet director Eldar Ryazanov, it was also star Lyudmila Gurchenko's first role and popular comedian Igor Ilyinsky shines. it is a wonderfully entertaining film, really a series of revue sketches blended with some gentle satirical comedy. Released a few years after the death of Stalin, the new leadership had initiated the famous "thaw" in Soviet society, seizing the moment Carnival Night portrays the victorious struggle of the modern, free-spirited younger generation against the outdated and stuffily authoritarian regime of the past...
A wonderful way to usher in a New Year ..
