Grigorii Aleksandrov’s films created with composer Isaak Dunaevskii were among the most popular of Russian cinema in the 1930s and 1940s. The first Aleksandrov’s film Happy Guys centered on the poetic of comedy as ideology or entertainment. In the article author describes the strategies of manipulation. The Soviet musical incorporated Stalinist ideology and nationalism. The patriotic language in soviet comedies is naturalized, it seems like songs in films were more about nature than politics, patriotic love and life‑affirming laughter. Aleksandrov used archetypes and myths of the Stalin era and produced image of mythical soviet community. The maternal archetype is present in fertility imagery and is spatially encoded as “Rodina” (“homeland” or “motherland”). He put an end to the 1920s cult of ugliness in Soviet cinema and convinced Stalin, that beauty is a necessary element of Soviet art. Aleksandrov’s films reproduced the dominant ideology and gave people what they wanted – entertainment, escape from the travails of the everyday, and hope for the better life.

The article, “Look, here is a Polish film production.” Pre-war Polish musical comedy as a musical, is an attempt to prove that Polish musical comedies from the 1930s can be recognized as a local version of a classic film musical. Based on an analysis of two representative films from this period, Piętro wyżej (L. Trystan, 1937) and Zapomniana melodia (J. Fethke, K. Tom, 1938), the author proves that these productions are in line with the definition and determinants of the American genre. The historical context invoked allows the author to better describe the musical’s Polish variant and how it differs from the original. The article cites press reviews from the 1930s, based on which the author describes the evolving approach of critics and audiences to the changes in music present in these films as a result of drawing on American works. Finally, the article focuses on the importance of interwar musical comedies in Polish culture.
