Naval Classics on Mosfilm: A Golden Collection Schedule
On the day reserved for the Navy, the Mosfilm channel unveils a Golden Collection of films celebrating heroic sailors and maritime romances. The channel’s press service shared the lineup with socialbites.ca.
At 6:40 a.m. viewers will be treated to Mikhail Romm’s historical drama Admiral Ushakov, a film that traces the origins and early developments of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and its enduring traditions.
Later in the morning, at 13:35, a family favorite titled Sea Hunter, drawn from a Nikolai Chukovsky story, follows Soviet sailors as they uncover an enemy submarine during the Great Patriotic War. The adventure blends humor with wartime resolve to capture a moment of collective courage.
In the mid afternoon, at 14:55, the melodrama The Sailor from the Comet unfolds. It centers on the steadfast love between a sailor named Sergei and the vivacious Lena, while a rival director from the Sailors’ Palace complicates their path to happiness.
Concluding the sea film marathon at 16:35 is Red Sails, a romance adapted from the work of Alexander Green. The story features the hopeful girl Assol, raised with the belief that a ship with scarlet sails will come for her. The principal performances are by Anastasia Vertinskaya and Vasily Lanovoy, whose on screen presence remains iconic in this era of cinema.
These selections are framed as a peak among the most enduring genres of Russian cinema, offering audiences a window into seafaring myth and national storytelling. Attribution for these broadcast notes is provided by the Mosfilm press service.
