Here’s the plot outline as follows: The girl is lonesome for her fiancée who’s stationed at an outpost in The Ural Mountains. Ofcourse, they’re both full blooded Ukrainians. Finally, the fiancée sends her the money for her train fare to come join him in order to get married. Yet, it seems that her widowed father is too overly concerned about her going to join her fiancée, especially since he’s not going to be able to give her away. Thus, her father mandates that the girl get her beautiful long pretty golden blonde hair all cut off because he’s afraid that the fiancee’s fellow soldiers might try to rape her. Naturally, she doesn’t want to see herself wearing short hair, but her father warns her that if she doesn’t go to the barbershop to get her haircut 💇♀️, he says that he’ll cut it off for her in the privacy of their home, and save a few Roubles. So, she gives in, and moments later she’s in the barbershop and seated. When asked by the barber just how short she wants it cut, she says to make it a rush job. So no sooner is the white linen cape around her shoulders, the barber cuts off the right side braid and within seconds the left side braid joins its counterpart on the floor. A few days later, she arrives at the base, but her fiancée is shocked to see her with a chinlength bob and a perm. Whether she lets her tresses grow long again is anyone’s guess. Obviously it looks like the fears of her father resulted in a violation of 1 CORINTHIANS 11:15, but keep it in mind that the movie was made in the USSR in 1956. Therefore, we need this movie titled “WHEN NIGHTINGALES SING” aired on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) whether it’s on late Sunday night as part of the TCM Imports lineup, or any other time whether it’s in primetime or daylight hours.
Only because the barber didn’t take his time to unwind the braids and thoroughly comb them out prior to cutting off the girl’s beautiful long pretty golden blonde hair. Sure she let her braids reach to her hips, but if her tresses were thoroughly combed out then they would reach to her thighs possibly.
