Description: A Russian twist on the American Western, this "Eastern" opens up with a beautiful woman dressed in red walking across an open green field, carrying two pails of water on her shoulders. This woman ends up being almost the heart of the film, even though she has no real part in the movie. Then reality sets in, and the desert by the Caspain sea is seen. The leading man, Red Army soldier Fyodor Sukhov, is about to return home to his lovely wife (our lady in red) after being away at war when he gets in the middle of a fight, and finds himself in charge of the 9 wives of Abdullah.

"23.3. 2019 A red army soldier is faced with a great challenge when he is ordered to guard the harem of a guerilla leader. "The White Sun of the Desert" is an action film that represents lighter side of the Soviet Cinema and it's not much different compared to typical American action films of the same era. The film is based on pure entertainment and it doesn't have any deep messages to tell. It is also loaded with propaganda but it's still smoothly directed and moderately entertaining with ascet"

"15.7. Neukku-"easternissa" yksinäinen sankari saa vahingossa paikallisen hirmuhallitsijan, Musta-Abdullahin, vaimokatraan suojeltavakseen ja sitten on aika jekuttaa pahiksia Yojimbo meets Terence Hill -tyyliin. Homma toimii, mutta siinä ei ole mitään ihmeellistä."

"Neuvostoliiton ilmeisesti ajaton suosikkifilmi ja idän oma poikain seikkailu alkaa mielenkiintoisesti mutta loppua kohden menee ehkä jo liiankin perusräiminnäksi. Tämä ei siis ole huono asia sinänsä, mutta ehkä käsitykseni neuvostoelokuvasta on liialti taidekakan runtelema, tiedä häntä. Ja alkutekstijakso on tosiaan yksi hienoimpia miesmuistiin."
