plot synopsis:
Arkady, an Odessan seaman, and Sasha, a Ural blacksmith, are two soldiers who enjoy squabbling over their social and ethnic differences, but stick together like glue whenever a crisis looms. Ultimately, the soldiers are united once more on the battlefield, proving with finality their fidelity to one another — and to the Soviet cause.

remarks:
The fifth War-Loan Drive was drawing to a close in late 1944, but Russian films like „Dva bojtsa“ still made the rounds in America to raise extra funds.
The film is enhanced by several lively musical interludes, spotlighting traditional ethnic and military songs.
