Overview

Rainbow (; translit. Raiduga, ; translit. Raduga), is a 1944 Soviet war film directed by Mark Donskoy and written by Wanda Wasilewska based on her novel, Tęcza. The film depicts life in a German-occupied village in Ukraine from the viewpoint of the terrorized villagers. Cast Elena Tyapkina as Feodosya Hans Klering as Captain Kurt Werner Nina Alisova as Pusya Natalya Uzhviy as Olena Kostyuk Anna Lisyanskaya as Malyuchikha Nikolai Bratersky as Petr Gaplik, collaborator mayor Vitya Vinogradov as Mishka Malyuchik Anton Dunaysky as Grandfather Evdokim Okhabko Vera Ivashova as Olga, Pusya's sister Vladimir Chobur as Lt. Kravchenko Plot The German conquerors are above nothing, not even the slaughter of small children, to break the spirit of their Soviet captives. Suffering more than most is Olena (Nataliya Uzhviy), a Soviet partisan who returns to the village to bear her child, only to endure the cruelest of arbitrary tortures at the hands of the Nazis. Eventually, the villagers rise up against their oppressors, but unexpectedly do not wipe them out, electing instead to force the surviving Nazis to stand trial for their atrocities in a postwar "people's court." (It is also implied that those who collaborated with the Germans will be dealt with in the same way).

Notable quotes

“Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.”
— Anonymous, a traditional Navajo song, as quoted in All Men Seek God : The Quest for Faith in the Words of Great Leaders and Thinkers (1968) by Dean Walley
“A Hebrew belief asserted that if Yahweh lays aside his bow and hangs it in the clouds, this is a sign that his anger has subsided. Other peoples have had similar ideas, based upon the tradition that an archer carries his bow with the ends pointing downward when he wishes to indicate his peaceful intentions.”
— Carl Benjamin Boyer, in The Rainbow: From Myth to Mathematics (1959), p. 27
“And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”
— Genesis 9:16-17
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you gotta be willing to put up with the rain.”
— Dolly Parton, as quoted in The Scrapbooker's Guide to Business : What You Need to Know Before You Invest (2003) by Kathy Steligo, p. 125
“The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.”
— Henry David Thoreau, in Walden, Ch. XI : Higher Laws
“We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.”
— Mark Twain, in A Tramp Abroad (1880)
