The Goalkeeper (Russian: Вратарь, romanized: Vratar) is a 1936 Soviet sports-musical comedy film directed by Semyon Timoshenko. The screen version of novel by Lev Kassil Goalkeeper of the Republic [ru], one of the first literary works about sport in the USSR.

Plot

The film tells the story of a simple young man, Anton Kandidov. Initially working in agriculture, he ferries watermelons across the Volga River by boat. Impressed by his agility in catching and loading watermelons, someone suggests he could become a goalkeeper and play football. Anton decides to follow this advice.

Players from the Moscow factory football team "Hydro-Air" notice Anton's skills while returning from a trip and invite him to join their team as a goalkeeper. Soon, Anton becomes known as the best goalkeeper in Moscow, and the fame goes to his head.

Neglecting his duties at the factory, Anton reacts poorly to criticism from his colleagues and quits "Hydro-Air" to join their rivals, "Torpedo." During a match between the two teams, Anton concedes an early goal and resorts to unsportsmanlike conduct, leading to his expulsion from the field by the referee.

With the help of his teammates, Anton realizes his mistakes and returns to "Hydro-Air." Later, an international team, the "Black Buffalos," arrives in the Soviet Union for a match. Representing the USSR team, Anton valiantly defends the goal. In the final moments of the game, the "Black Buffalos" are awarded a penalty kick, but Anton not only saves it but also sprints to the opposing goal and scores the winning goal.
