The Sleeping Lion (Spyashchiy lev) is a Soviet 1965 comedy directed by Aleksandr Faintsimmer. After a timid and indecisive bank employee Vasiliy Ivanovich Tsvetkov (Konstantin Sorokin) detains two robbers, he becomes a totally different person. Soon he takes a revealing action against his superior, incompetent bank manager Telegin (Sergey Martinson).
The following weapons were used in the film The Sleeping Lion (Spyashchiy lev):
TT-33 pistols are also seen in hands of bank employees when they train on the shooting range. Vasiliy Ivanovich Tsvetkov (Konstantin Sorokin) holds a TT when he accidentally detains two robbers in grocery store. In a scene played out in the imagination of Tsvetkov's co-worker Matvey Gavrilovich Goloskokov (Sergey Filippov), Tsvetkov's pistol is hold by his daughter's fiance Aleksandr Streltsov (Yuri Belov).
