White Sun of the Desert (Russian: Белое солнце пустыни, romanizedBeloye solntse pustyni) is a 1970 Soviet Ostern film.[1]

Its blend of action, comedy, music and drama, made it highly successful at the Russian box-office and resulted in a number of memorable quotes. It retains high domestic approval. Its main theme song, "Your Noble Highness Lady Fortune" (Ваше благородие, госпожа удача, music: Isaac Schwartz, lyrics: Bulat Okudzhava, performed by Pavel Luspekayev) became a hit. The film is watched by Russian cosmonauts before most space launches as a good luck ritual.[3]
