Die Grille

St. Petersburg at the turn of the century. It tells the story of the easy-going and superficial Olga Ivanovna (Lyudmila Tselikovskaya) and her husband Dr. Osip Stepanovich Dymov (Sergey Bondarchuk). Olga regularly surrounds herself with artists to give her own existence shine and meaning. Her husband, on the other hand, who is a doctor by profession and conducts scientific studies in addition to his practice in order to enable her to live a lavish life at all, she hardly pays attention to...

The selfless, quiet and kind Dymov, played by actor and director Sergey Bondarchuk, who later directed the Oscar-winning film 'War and Peace', forgives her for all her escapades. It is only at the hour of his death that Olga realises who she was married to in 'The Cricket' (1955), directed by Samson Samsonov.
