Springtime (Russian: Весна, romanized: Vesna) is a 1947 Soviet musical-comedy film directed by Grigori Aleksandrov and starring Lyubov Orlova, Nikolay Cherkasov and Faina Ranevskaya.

For the role of "Nikitina", Gromov finds Vera Shatrova, a young operetta actress who is an exact mirror image of her character.

Not wanting to interrupt her work in the operetta, Shatrova meets Nikitina and asks her for the time being to double for her on the set.

She strongly opposes Gromov's views about the scientific world and explains to the director the errors of his outlook.

At the 8th Venice International Film Festival in 1947 Lyubov Orlova received a special prize for the best female acting.
