The Diamond Arm (Russian: Бриллиантовая рука) is a 1969 Soviet comedy directed by Leonid Gaidai and starring several famous Soviet actors, including Yuri Nikulin, Andrei Mironov, Anatoli Papanov, Nonna Mordyukova and Svetlana Svetlichnaya. *The Diamond Arm* has become a Russian cult film and is considered by many Russian contemporaries to be one of the finest comedies of its time. It was also one of the all-time leaders at the Soviet box office with over 76,700,000 theatre admissions in the Soviet era. The plot of the film was based on a real-life news item about Swiss smugglers who tried to transport jewels in an orthopedic cast.*This is the second film in our three part screening of Leonid Gaidai's works.*
