An Ordinary Miracle (Russian: Обыкновенное чудо, romanized: Obyknovennoye chudo) is a Soviet 1978 romantic fantasy musical film directed by Mark Zakharov and based on a play by Evgeny Schwartz.

The protagonist of the film, the Wizard (Oleg Yankovsky), invents a fairy tale to amuse himself and his wife (Irina Kupchenko).

Now, the young man returns to the Wizard's house where he meets a beautiful girl (Yevgeniya Simonova), and they immediately fall in love with each other.

To his dismay, she turns out to be a princess – the Wizard made it so that a king (Yevgeny Leonov) who was just passing by with his daughter and his suite felt a sudden urge to stop by the estate.

They meet in a tavern called "Emilia", but the Bear, unable to recognize the Princess, summons her to a duel.

In anger, he goes to the innkeeper (Yury Solomin) and begs to be to locked up, as the tavern is covered with snow and it is impossible to get out.

He draws his attention to one of the court ladies and recognizes in her his first love Emilia, in whose honor he named the inn.

Evgeny Leonov, who was filming after a infarction, often offered the director to shoot two takes of a particular scene — a scenario one and an improvisational one — and Zakharov often accepted the second as more accurate and funny.

Alexander Abdulov performed all the tricks in the film on his own, however, in the scene with the horse at the moment of the jumping, the actor forgot to release his legs from the stirrups, as a result of which the horse drove him several tens of meters on the ground; nevertheless, Abdulov refused the services of a stuntman and performed the trick.
