Rock'n Roll Wolf

I saw this film as a child in a small town cinema in Soviet Union, was completely mesmerised by it and since then was looking for it everywhere. Finally, we managed to get a video from Romania. I was so happy. It's an enchanting, original, musical fairy-tale with a bit of rock'n'roll. The costumes and the music are Romanian indeed, but there are also wonderful Russian actors in main roles. I especially love Mihail Boyarski as the bad guy - the Wolf. There's also a ballet performance from Bolshoi, and beautiful ballet on ice from Moscow. The film just has so much beauty and energy in it. I recommend it to all children and their parents. Unforgettable experience!

What this movie make one of the finest is that the tunes and scenes are staying for years in your brain. When I see the movie last month after 25 years, it was like I have seen it a week before. So it did a lot to me in those days when I looked with my children at the musical. You can almost not believe that the leading actress and actors are now at the age of 70. So time flies. I almost looked for 25 years. I once had that movie on beta max tape but I lost it. Now Ihave the English version and the Russian one. I always though the voices were dubbed on the English movie, but that's not true, it are two complete different movies, with a different camera view. Does anyone know if there is a soundtrack for sale of this great musical? The English version I have is not one of the best, so I still am looking for a VHS with a better quality. Maybe someone knows a store? I hope that someday a DVD will be for sale.

And, I found the movie "Godspell" after 25 years again.

Hi, I finally found a russian-language version of MA-MA. The movie has still the same fascination as seen several years ago while I was young. I searched all over romania, but I was not able to find a version woth the original, romanian language. If you like Ma-Ma you need to see "VERONICA". I am very sorry that the romanian film-industrie is not able to provide new films with the quality of the movies from the years between 1970-80. I hope that sometimes these old movies will be released on DVD. Maybe someone will remaster these old movies and bring them back on the big screen. Thanks Bye NIKI

I remember this film from my childhood years...

It was shown on Swedish TV and i loved it. I still remember some of the songs - and some of the girls - and would give a lot to see it again.

As one speaker said before; Great films (for children) during this period, from the east block.....

It's nice and impressive tale about Wolf, little Goats, their Mummy and more animals, such as Parrot or Bears :) Terrific duet of L.Gurchenko and M.Boyarsky, especially their "fight" on the ice, as far as I remember. Also: good songs, nice acting... Well, it's just the proper movie for all family. I liked it. P.S. Why there are no comments of Russian, Lithuanian movies? Doesn't anyone think some of these are really good???
