Movie Reviews
Directed by Boris Barnet
Starring: Anna Sten, Vladimir Fogel, Ivan Koval-Samborsky, Serafima Birman, Pavel Pol
Natasha and her grandfather live in a cottage near Moscow, making hats for Madame Irène. Madame and her husband have told the housing committee that Natasha rents a room from them; this fiddle gives Madame's lazy husband a room for lounging. The local railroad clerk, Fogelev, loves Natasha but she takes a shine to Ilya, a clumsy student who sleeps in the train station. To help Ilya, Natasha marries him and takes him to Madame's to live in the room the house committee thinks is hers. Meanwhile, Madame's husband pays Natasha with a lottery ticket he thinks is a loser, and when it comes up big, just as Ilya and Natasha are falling in love, everything gets complicated.

REVIEW:
A Soviet comedy. Sounds like an oxymoron. The only humor I remember from them is Nikita Khrushchev pounding his shoe on a table at the UN and shouting, “We will bury you!” But this film is not only comedy but farce, screwball even. If director Boris Barnet’s name were replaced with Mack Sennett, no one would question the substitution.
The girl in the title is Natasha, played by gorgeous Anna Sten. Natasha is a hat maker who lives in a cottage outside Moscow. She has a suitor Fogelev (Vladimir Fogel), but her indifference is foreshadowed by a shot of him wiping away thick frost to peer at her through an icy window.
Natasha sells her hats to the sourpuss Madame Irène (Serafima Birman) and Madame’s Husband (Pavel Pol). Because apartments are allotted on the basis of need, the crafty Madame has tricked housing authorities into giving her a large one by registering a room under Natasha’s name.
One day an official from the House Committee comes to verify Natasha’s residency. Natasha happens to be there, so Madame is able to perpetrate her lie; she admonishes Natasha to spend the night in her room more often.
Madame will soon rue her words. Natasha meets Ilya (Ivan Koval-Samborsky), a student so impoverished he sleeps in railway stations. Taking pity on him, she coaxes him into marrying her so he can live in her “room,” much to Madame’s consternation.
