Hello I Am Your Aunt
This is the song The Love And The Poverty.
This video could be meant for my Russian Jokes Russian Humor Video blog, but I decided to put it on my main site and refer to this later on. I installed a couple of video processing software programs but do not have everything necessary to make these nice little extracts from my favorite classic movies myself. The good news is that I can find almost anything on Youtube. Of course there are episodes that are to be cherished again and again and that are not there yet.
This awesome movie is the best appearance of the great actor Alexander Kalyagin. Here he plays a man who dresses as a woman to avoid being captured by police and who is mistaken for a rich lady who is to be arriving this day at the house. The inhabitants of the house, after disclosing the true nature of this person, decide to keep the game on to help them achieve their plans. Many relatives and visitors in the house become involved, and the scenes are memorable. A lot of music, many Soviet era stars like Jigarhanyan and Gaft, make it a real classic film. Many phrases from this movie became household humor phrases. A few quotes from the movie:
(this man “The Aunt” addressing his male admirer) Ok… I will kiss you… later… if you will want me to do it…
(The Aunt) I am from Brasil where in forests there are a lot of wild monkeys…
(The Aunt about her so-called deceased husband) There is no lack of Pedros in Brasil.
At the end of this clip the Aunt says - To Don Pedro (in honor to Don Pedro). By the way, in Russian such names as Hulio and Pedro have funny sounding as relate to swearing Russian words.
