Devil's Bride (Lithuanian: Velnio nuotaka, Russian: Чёртова Невеста) is the first Soviet musical film created in 1974 and based on the novel by Kazys Boruta Baltaragis's Mill).
This musical is a joint creation by the director Arūnas Žebriūnas [lt], composer Vyacheslav Ganelin and the scriptwriter, Lithuanian poet Sigitas Geda.
The daughter, Jurga (played by the same actress interpreting her mother, Vaiva Mainelytė), grows up to become a beautiful woman, and the handsome Girdvainis (Regimantas Adomaitis) falls in love with her.
Pinčiukas plays all sort of tricks to separate Jurga from Girdvainis, while Baltaragis regrets his pact with the devil and tries to persuade him to marry instead his not-so-beautiful sister Uršulė (Regina Varnaitė).
Critics have noted influences of Russian movies, but have also praised the originality of “the set and camera movement” that made Arūnas Žebriūnas's style somewhat unique.
