BY PETER BURCHETT [F producers succeed in turning out more films like "It Begun in the Blue Express," now showing in Berlin, and more charmers like Lydin Dranoffakaya, who plays the leading role, they should find their way on to the world's screens.
Sina (Lydla Dranoffskaya) is a charming little blonde, rosy and vivacious, on her way to Vindivostok on the trans-Siberian express. As often happens on Russian trains, she is dumped into a sleeping-car with a good-looking naval Heutenant.
Sinn pretends to be married, but just the same she carries on a most provocative flirtation with the rather reserved lieutenant. in keep- ing with the new strict Soviet morals, the lieutenant, believing Sina to be married, does not want to flirt, and speaks soberly of love and marriage. On one passion- ate occasion he enrages her by saying that if he did make love it would be for keeps, and not for a travelling adventure, and
