The Russian Film Music’s weekly film clips series 1 has now come to an end
with a longer clip from “White Bim Black Ear” (in Russian: Белый Бим
Чёрное ухо). It is a Soviet drama film produced by Gorky Studios and
directed by Stanislav Rostotsky, with the music written by Andrey Petrov.
The film is based upon the book of the same name, written by Gavriil

Troyepolsky. The film was widely applauded in its time and even competed for Best Foreign Language Film at the 51st Academy Awards. The star cast are “Bim”, a white English Setter with a black ear (in real life “Steve” who plays Bim) and his master Ivan Ivanovich (played by Vyacheslav Tikhonov).


It is a touching story about a dog who becomes lost because of his master
falling ill. Ivan Ivanovich is fond of hunting and nature, take a puppy to live
with him, despite the dog’s black ear being a “shame of nature” to his
breed. Ivanovich always take his dog, whom he call Bim to hunting in the
country. However, when Ivan Ivanovich is taken to hospital, Bim can’t bear
waiting for the only person that ever cared for him and set out to find his
master. Thus begins the story of this incredibly loyal dog and his many
breathtaking adventures, encounters of many people, kind and evil, that leads to an unexpected and heart-rending end. In Russia, in the city of Voronezh, there is a bronze statue of “Bim” in full size and thousands of people have passed by the monument to “White Bim Black Ear” stroking the

“Bim statue” and taking pictures.
