:  Movie Info

"Semyon Gorbunkov goes on a cruise. In Istanbul, he slips and breaks
his arm. What he didn't know is that this was a signal for a gang of
smugglers (a real smuggler - Gena - was also on board the same ship).
So his arm gets bandaged with gold and diamonds. After he returns
home, the gangsters are trying to get their stuff back, while the
police try to catch them using Gorbunkov and his arm."

:  Rippers Notes

This is quite a film.  Although parts of it are a bit localized and
non-Russian audiences may not get some of the jokes, it's a great film
and a cult classic in Russia.  Filmed during the height of the USSR,
it's an interesting peek into cold war culture.
The DVD came with both English and Russian audio tracks.  Although
all refrences on the net point to MONO audio this is NOT the case,
video and audio have been remastered and the audio here is in fact
true stereo.  I decided to encode the film with the Russian language,
including English subtitles.  Since the English audio encoded to
roughly the same size, I included the English .mp3 track for those of
you who would rather this film be dubbed instead of subbed.  Simple
instructions on how to strip the Russian audio and mux in the English
are included, although any dolt should be able to figure this out with
a visit to www.doom9.net.  Enjoy the film!
