Vasilisa the Beautiful (1939 film)
Vasilisa the Beautiful (Russian: Василиса Прекрасная) is a 1939 Soviet film produced by Soyuzdetfilm and directed by Alexander Rou. It was based on a traditional Russian fairy tale The Frog Tsarevna. It was the first large-budget feature in the Soviet Union to use fantasy elements, as opposed to the realistic style long favored politically.[1]
