I Step Through Moscow

I Step Through Moscow or Walking Through Moscow (Я шагаю по Москве) is a 1963 Georgi Danelia Comedy starring a young Nikita Mikhalkov as Kolya, a construction worker not yet out of his teens. When Volodya, a friend and aspiring writer, comes to Moscow from Siberia, Kolya tries to arrange a meeting for him with a noted author. Meanwhile, Kolya's childhood friend Sasha wants to get married, but he must first get an Army deferral. Add to the mix Alena, a pretty shop girl to whom Kolya takes an obvious shine—although Alena seems to have eyes only for his visitor. Free flowing, and full of wry, wisecracking dialogue –– a Shpalikov trademark –– Walking the Streets of Moscow brims with a sense of hope and promise. This film has also been compared to the French New Wave films of the same decade. The theme by Andrei Petrov has also remained famous.
