Sixty Days (a direct translation of the original title Shestdesyat dney; also credired as 60 dney) is a Soviet 1940 (released in 1943) B&W comedy movie, directed by Mikhail Shapiro. Evgeny Antonov (Nikolay Cherkasov), a biology scientist, is called to retraining of reserve officers. At first he acts as a deeply civilian person without any military skills that lead to numerous comical situations. But during the maneuvers Antonov shows himself as talented officer and gains full victory over his long-time rival Pugachyov who commands "enemy" side.
