The Visit (Vizit damy, literally "The Visit of the Lady") is a 1989 Soviet made for TV adaptation of well-known tragicomic play "The Visit" ("Der Besuch der alten Dame") by Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The movie is directed by Mikhail Kozakov and starring Yekaterina Vasilyeva as Clara Tsekhanasyan, an aged billionaire woman who returns to her former hometown and offers to the townspeople a great wealth if they would bring to trial Alfred Ill (Valentin Gaft) who was Clara's lover in the days of their youth but then deceived her.
