The White Poodle

The White Poodle (Russian: Белый пудель, romanized: Belyy pudel) is a 1956 Soviet children's adventure film directed by Marianna Roshal-Stroyeva and Vladimir Shredel.

The main roles were played by Viktor Koltsov and Vladimir Polyakov, with others taken by Natalie Gitserot, Alexander Antonov and Georgy Millyar.

On the Crimean coast at the end of the 19th century, the old organ-grinder Lodyzhkin, his 12-year-old acrobat son Seryozha and their clever white poodle Arto put on shows for the locals and holidaymakers.

They earn a modest living and despite the long walks the boy finds the strength to sing as they travel around.

One day, in Yalta, they enter the garden of a luxurious house and put on a show before its owners and Trilly, a child nobody says no to.
