1815年6月18日早晨，惠灵顿公爵所指挥的部队，聚集在比利时一个名为滑铁卢的小镇营地里。连绵不断的降雨带来了痛苦、潮湿和寒冷给士兵。但是这些士兵将会感谢这场从前夜就开始下的大雨，因为这场夏日暴雨不仅挽救了很多人的生命，同时，也即将改写了整个欧洲的历史，就是在这儿──滑铁卢战场。　　　　滑铁卢这场战役，是以拿破仑为首的法国军队独力抵抗以奥地利、普鲁士、俄国、英国为首的联盟国。拿破仑是个自信而又轻视敌人的人。他从未和惠灵顿交锋过，他相信惠灵顿不会在滑铁卢进行顽强抵抗。他期望一次进攻就能将惠灵顿赶下山脊，逼他後退。因此他根本没有料到会有一场大规模的战斗。　　　　战事一开始，法国好不容易才击败英国的先锋，但是法军的实力已被削弱了大半。当联军越接近法军，法军的士气越下降，军队也发生了骚动。不久，法军被彻底击败，这场战役只是打了一整日便结束。　　　　滑铁卢战役很特殊，因爲它是极少数单凭一场战斗就蠃得决定性胜利的战役。在这之後，几乎没有单凭一场战斗就能决定整个战争结局的战役，但这场战役做到了。滑铁卢战役的胜利使惠灵顿公爵成爲英雄，受到人民的热烈欢迎。而拿破仑的命运则是无比凄凉，他被流放在大西洋圣赫伦岛。在那里，拿破仑度过了他的馀生，昔日那位骄傲的皇帝，亦慢慢的消失在这个废墟中。

1960年捷克卡罗维发利国际电影节最佳导演水晶球奖。　　Originally titled Seryozha, the Russian A Summer to Remember was co-adapted by Vera Panova from her own short story. War and Peace director Sergei Bondarchuk plays the new stepfather of young Seryozha (Borya Barkhatov). So close do the stepfather and the boy become in the months following their meeting that, when time comes for the boy to move on in life, he refuses to leave his new dad's side. Their summer idyll takes place on a Soviet collective farm, managed by Bondarchuk and depicted by novice filmmakers Georgiy Daneliya and Igor Talankin in the most glowing and apolitical of terms. Though there isn't much to the plot, the film admirably succeeds as a sort of cinematic tone poem.　　From All Movie Guide Russian filmmaker Georgi Daneliya ranks among his country's most popular directors of satirical comedies. The Georgia-born Daneliya comes from a distinguished family of film performers; his grandmother, Veriko Andzhaparidze, was a famed Georgian silent film actress, his cousin, Sofiko Chiaureli, is also a major actress, and his mother, Meri Andzhaparidze, spent more than a decade at Mosfilm Studios. However, he first chose to train as an architect (perhaps out of respect for his father, an engineer). Following his graduation in 1955, Daneliya worked only briefly in that field when he decided he'd rather be in films, enrolling in Mosfilm Studios' Directors' Courses in 1958. In 1960, Daneliya co-directed SeryozhaA Summer to Remember with Igor Talankin. Two years later, he made his solo directorial debut, Put K PrichaluThe Way to the Wharf (1962). His 1969 comedy Ne Goryuy!Don't Worry! successfully blended humor and melancholy, a device that would become Daneliya's trademark. In addition to directing, Daneliya co-authors the scripts for his films and occasionally works on screenplays for other directors. Daneliya has won numerous national and international awards for his work. In 1964, his Ya Shagayu po MoskveI Walk Around Moscow received an honorable mention at the Cannes Film Festival, while in 1975 Afonya received a special award at the All Union Festival, a major U.S.S.R. event. Daneliya's biggest hit in the U.S.S.R., Mimino (1977), earned the special prize at the Moscow International Film Festival and the U.S.S.R. State Prize. In 1991, Daneliya earned the Nika Award (the Russian equivalent to an Oscar) for Best Screenplay for Pasport (1990).
