Late for a Date

Late for a Date (Russian: Девушка спешит на свидание, translit. Devushka speshit na svidanie; literally Girl in a hurry for a date) is a Soviet comedy film directed by Mikhail Verner. A new print was issued in 1987, completely redubbed apart from the songs performed by Efrem Flaks.

Professor Leonid S. Fedorov and Nikolai Gurov, a cobbler at "Moskooppromsoyuza", both set off for the resort at Yessentuki. They have both left their passports at home and their wives both take them into the post-office to send them. The girl addressing the two envelopes is distracted by a phone conversation about a date and mistakenly sends the professor's passport to the cobbler and vice versa. After several comedic misunderstandings, the two men's wives arrive at the resort and clarify everything.
