Avoiding the usual dogmatic approach of wartime Soviet propaganda films, The Girl From Leningrad manage to include a wealth of surefire entertainment values. Zoya Fyodorova is starred as Natasha, an idealistic Russian lass who heads to the front lines to serve as a volunteer nurse. Though she isn't supposed to become emotionally involved with her patients, Natasha falls hard for wounded Red Army officer Lt. Korovin (Alevander Abrikosov). Adding seasoning to this romantic stew are several well-staged battle sequences and even a song or two. The Girl From Leningrad was remade in Hollywood in 1944 as Three Russian Girls, with Anna Sten starring as Natasha.
