| Brief Description: | Grigori Alexandrov's first musical comedy is the rags-to-fame story of

conductor. The film belongs to its heroine--Lyubov Orlova--who
established herself as the first recognized star of Soviet cinema.
Jazz Comedy is also remarkable for the clever camera work of Vladimir
Nilsen, who introduced Western camera tricks to Soviet cinema. Russian
