Talk:Seventeen Instants of Spring

So, was comedy or no? --Wetman 19:32, 28 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Good point! and it absolutely was not a comedy. It was one of the first series in USSR, or more accurate translation from Russian "multi-episode film", not a "soap opera". The point is that it was made in a very serious frame of mind, it was a masterpiece of style and consistency.
 * Sometimes it was frightening(what else to expect in Nazi Germany), in fact the whole film is a big "Fear Factor" game for the main character, he manages to keep a cool mind in absolutely desperate circumstances. And the jokes appeared because the movie was popular, and most of them is based on contrast of the film content and something said, I guess it's called bathos. Gnomz007 20:18, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Should the English title stay as is, or should it be changed to the probably less exact but more widely used translation Seventeen Moments of Spring? For now, I just made a redirect. pt 12:58, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It should be changed, I think. "Seventeen Moments of Spring" is also preferred by IMDB. Cmapm 11:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I moved the content to Seventeen Moments of Spring and made a redirect. -- pt 14:52, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
