Hey, I *did* find a real prize:
I remember when I was a kid (and was trying with all my might to be American and Not Ukranian <sigh>), my parents would listen to Svatanya Na Honcharivtsi on records. I found that sucker for sale online (a black & white video)!
I found some universal truths in that movie:
1) Just speaking a French word can in fact ruin a great evening.
2) The rich fool wasn't so foolish when he chose a harbuz instead of the beautiful young girl. If your spouse is eventually going to turn into a pumpkin anyway, why not get one in the first place?
And I still have the lyrics rolling thru my mind: "Chort y zhinka ne boyusya!"
