Scarlet Sails (Russian: Алые паруса, romanized: Alye parusa) is a 1961 Soviet romantic fantasy film produced by Mosfilm and directed by Alexandr Ptushko.

The former seaman Longren raises his daughter Assol[6] alone after losing his beloved wife, making a meager living by selling the toy boats he carves from wood.

As a child, Assol encounters an old man who claims to be a wizard and promises the girl that one day a prince will come on a ship with scarlet sails to carry her away.

Arthur Grey is a nobleman's son who breaks away from his cruel father to pursue a life at sea, and eventually becomes the captain of a merchant vessel.

Having set to port at Assol's village, he spies the young maiden sleeping in the forest and falls in love.
