Die Fledermaus
Die Fledermaus is a 1979 Soviet two-part operetta film directed by Yan Frid. It is based on Johann Strauss II's 1874 work of the same name.
Plot
The Viennese banker Heinrich Eisenstein has committed a minor offense for which he must go to jail. However, his friend Falke, director of a local theater, persuades him to spend this evening at a ball given by the well-known patron of art, Prince Orlovsky, who came from Russia. For the sake of this celebration, Heinrich is ready to postpone the prison and also do something more difficult — to lie to his wife Rosalinde. But what he does not suspect is that the insidious Falke decided to play a prank on him with the help of Heinrich's own maid Adele, who, according to Falke's plan, should also come to the ball in a spectacular costume of a bat and seduce her master. Adele agrees to this step, but only because she wants to become an actress in Falke's theater and by successfully tricking Heinrich she will prove her acting abilities.
