IMDb profile

Beregis' Avtomobilya (Russian: "Береги́сь автомоби́ля") ("Beware of the Car" or "Uncommon Thief" or "Watch out for the Automobile", the US title) is a Soviet crime comedy film by Eldar Ryazanov, produced by Mosfilm and released in 1966. It is universally credited as one of the best Russian comedies in existence (although a DVD with English subtitles is not currently available). The film includes a star cast of Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Oleg Yefremov, Anatoli Papanov, Andrei Mironov, Georgy Zhzhyonov, and others.

The movie plot evolves around Yuri Detochkin, a humble insurance agent, who steals cars from crooks in a Robin Hood way, disappointed by the Militsiya (Russian police) being unable to fight them efficiently. He sells the cars and transfers the money to the accounts of various orphanages. Maxim Podberyoznikov investigates his crimes and tries to prosecute him, but faces a serious moral problem in doing that.
