Much Ado About Nothing (Russian: Много шума из ничего, romanized: Mnogo shuma iz nichego) is a 1973 Soviet romantic comedy film directed by Samson Samsonov based on William Shakespeare's play of the same name.[1]
Plot
A young couple, Hero and Claudio, are set to be married in a week. As time passes, they make a wager with Don Pedro that they can bring the confirmed bachelor Benedick together with Beatrice, an old acquaintance of his. Meanwhile, the villain Don John schemes to disrupt Claudio and Hero’s wedding by accusing Hero of infidelity. The truth seems impossible to uncover, but, fortunately, all this is merely ado... much ado about nothing.
