10/10

Classic romantic comedy. Kind, pure, uplifting.

Old Soviet romantic comedy classic. Movie is simple love story about newbie cook on sawmill production.

Young, naive but honest and confident girl got a bet over her. After she refused dance and publicly humiliated local hard core lumberjack, he takes a bet that she will date him in a short time period.

Soviet movies had that pure and simple good and bad, right and wrong moral attitude. That was early 60's Khrushchev Thaw, hopeful and relatively freedom in movies created dozens of classics, that is one of them.

It's bright and simple, always cheers up and returning faith in love, humanity and friendship which is lacking in our time.

Defiantly recommend especially for foreigners, movie is still watchable throughout times and cultures. "She's all that" by1999, but better, purer and without Freddie Prince Jr.

10 out of 10, not because it's ten, ten is not real, but it stands aside and above.
