Silva (film)
Silva is a 1944 Soviet musical film directed by Aleksandr Ivanovsky and starring Zoya SmirnovaNemirovich and Sergei Martinson. It was part of a cycle of operetta films made in European cinema during the era.
The film proved a major success with Soviet audiences, who during the later stages of the Second World War sought escapist entertainment and largely rejected films with war themes. The money it earned per copy of the film issued exceeded even that of the most popular films of the year Guilty Without Fault.
