Princess Mary (1955)
Screen adaptation of the chapter of the same name from Mikhail Lermontov's “A Hero of Our Time”.

The film tells about the romantic story of Pechorin, whose reckless love game turns into a tragedy for himself - a man who clearly does not fit into the laws of the time in which fate has sentenced him to live...
