Curiosidades
Though the film is little known today, the five-movement suite Prokofiev arranged from his music for it (usually called "Lieutenant Kijé Suite") has become a standard classical concert piece and has been recorded often.

Erros de gravação
The document with the crucial slip of the pen as corrected by Tsar Paul I is clearly not the same as the one written by the army scribe in the previous scene. In the first version, the second (mistaken) letter K is clearly larger than the first. In the version corrected by the Tsar, they are the same size. (Though the subtitles have the Tsar capitalizing the second K, what he is actually doing is adding a letter between the two two Ks - the Russian "hard sign" required at the end of many words in the pre-revolutionary spelling system. The effect is the same: to create a fictional Lieutenant Kizhe.)

Tedious farce

This is a movie with a point to make. That point being that the Czar and everyone of his supporters and soldiers was a laughable jerk. It's an understandable point to want to make, and farce is broad by nature, but this movie seems like a sort of inside joke, something that might be very funny to angry Russians still bitter about their treatment under the Czar, but a failure in terms of comedy that is relatable to those for whom the Czar is not such a big deal.

The score by Prokovieff is, of course, brilliant. And the basic idea is really cute. But the movie is forced and not funny at all. Sometimes a hint of subtlety is more powerful than nothing but broad strokes.
