The Very Same Munchhausen
''The Very Same Munchhausen'' (, alt. translation - ''That Very Münchhausen'') is a 1980 Soviet fantasy comedy-drama television film directed by Mark Zakharov, based on a script by Grigoriy Gorin. The film relays the story of the baron's life after the adventures portrayed in the Baron Munchausen stories, particularly his struggle to prove himself sane.
