A Groom from the Other World

A Groom from the Other World or (Russian: Жених с того света, romanized: Zhenikh s togo sveta) is a 1958 Soviet comedy film directed by Leonid Gaidai.

Soon Petukhov sets out to leave for a few days to go to his bride, but the unlucky groom is robbed by a pickpocket at a station, who in turn immediately falls under the wheels of a car.

Having received the sad news, Ficusov, who is entrusted to temporarily perform director's duties, expands intense activities related to the upcoming funeral.

Heartfelt obituaries are written, telegrams of condolences from other organizations are received, wall newspapers are drawn, an orchestra is arranged ... And at this time the unsuspecting Petukhov returns to "BORE" in a good mood.

In place of "BORE" (and similar bureaucratic organizations which nested in the building) a hotel is opened and Petukhov, now working as a tour guide, shows it to the tourists as a local landmark.
