In a case of classic body-switching, a group of sorcerers appear in a modern-day small town and trade bodies with four schoolmates to live life as if they were young again in the children's fantasy A Tale of Time Lost. While the magical evildoers head off to school and wreak havoc in their young bodies, the now aged kids retreat to a decrepit house where they hatch their plan of revenge. With time running out, the kids have only one chance to reverse the effects of time before they are stranded in these bodies forever. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

After so many Russian WWII melodramas flooding the American market, the lighthearted Soviet comedy Twins should have been a refreshing change of pace. The title characters are a brace of abandoned babies, adopted by working girl Luba (Ludmilla Tselikovskaya). The presence of two squalling infants sorely tests the patience of Luba's friends, neighbors and landlady. The plot thickens as various interested parties -- two of whom may be the twins' parents -- converge upon her tiny apartment. Ultimately, Twins transforms into a propaganda piece which postulates that every Soviet citizen is responsible for the welfare of the young and helpless. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Valentina Serova, one of Russia's favorite postwar leading ladies, heads the cast of Four Hearts. Serova and Ludmilla Tselikoskaya play Galina and Shura, giddy young sisters who fall in love with each other's boyfriends. Dozens of song numbers later, the tangled romantic webs are straightened out. On the whole, the ladies are more appealing than their male counterparts (Eugene Samoilov and Peter Springfield), who seem stiff and self- conscious. The sheer ebullience of Four Hearts compensates for the muddled plotline, which was reportedly just as confusing to Soviet audiences as it was to American filmgoers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
