"According to its genre, the film "In a Souther Town" is a comedy, or rather tragicomedy of morals and manners.It's important to under- stand it properly in order not to notice only exotics instead of the exactly shown reality; not to find gloominess instead of humorous, occsionally tough perception, sober rumination. Also the film is credited - with the very definite, morale,ideologial position.". © "Azerbaijanfim", 1969, 35mm, 8 parth, 22450m, B/W .
