English titles: Six P.M.; Six O'Clock in the Evening After the War
Two soldiers are serving in the same artillery unit. They are best friends and share everything. One day they receive a morale-boosting card from some Kindergarten children with their teacher, inviting them to visit when they can. They find the schoolteacher very attractive in the photo. They all soon meet, and one of the guys begins a war romance with the schoolteacher. The couple set up a rendezvouz in Moscow, as per the movie's title. Through all of the war's twists of fate, will they be able to keep it?
Slightly off-putting in its unwavering intensity, yet fascinating as a historical document, this is a musical drama having World War II as backdrop, and obviously intended for consumption by the very men and women who were fighting it. You will not find in it much to stimulate your intellect, but I defy you not to be moved by its ending.
