Striped Trip (1961)

In the heart of the Soviet Union, the cruise ship "Evgeni Onegin" embarks on an unforeseen journey of chaotic hilarity. Within its steel belly, it carries a wild cargo destined for the eagerly awaiting Soviet Circus - cages filled with the king of the jungle and the stripes of the savannah, lions and tigers. However, a rogue monkey, gifted to the crew, becomes the unlikely catalyst for an adventure that turns the entire ship upside down. As the monkey’s curiosity gets the better of him, he unlocks the cages, setting loose a pack of tigers and lions on the unsuspecting passengers and crew. Fear spreads like wildfire, compelling even the captain to abandon his post. The ship, once a symbol of serene luxury, is transformed into a floating jungle, under total reign of these majestic predators. Amidst the chaos, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of the sweet and modest barmaid, Marianna. Her love for animals and uncanny ability to understand them, makes her the only one willing to face the daunting challenge. With courage in her heart and compassion in her eyes, she stands up against the wild uproar, slowly taming the beasts and restoring order. "Striped Trip" is a unique roller coaster of eccentric comedy and unexpected heroism set against the backdrop of the sea. It's a tale of how a seemingly ordinary woman, Marianna, turns the tide, wrangling the predators back into their cages after a series of thrilling escapades. The ship, under her control, sails on, leaving waves of laughter and awe in its wake.

Striped Trip is a comedy movie featuring Margarita Nazarova and directed by Vladimir Fetin.
