"Hello! I'm your aunt!"

A fragment of the Soviet two-part television film directed by Viktor Titov, released in 1975 by the "Ekran creative association". Based on Brandon Thomas' play "Charley's Aunt".

The cast of the film - people with a great sense of humor - caught the parodic-grotesque style of the game and literally bathed in what was happening. Several deliberately looking elements of costumes and make-up fit organically under the chosen style - such as Nosova’s eyelashes painted with a brush, Vasilyeva’s excessively large painted freckles, Dzhigarkhanyan’s mustache glued upside down, or Kalyagin’s dress trimmed with fringe from ordinary curtains.

Location shooting was carried out in the estate "Kuskovo" in the east of Moscow, in particular, near the Dutch house by the pond, which is presented in the film as the mansion of Colonel Chesney.

At the beginning of the film, a "historical chronicle" is presented in a kind of screensaver, interspersed with screensavers with Alexander Kalyagin.
