Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Beware of the Car (Береги́сь автомоби́ля, aka "Watch Out for the Automobile") is a 1966 film from the Soviet Union, directed by Eldar Ryazanov.Yuri is a mild-mannered insurance salesman somewhere in the Soviet Union (the opening narration specifically refuses to state where). He's an ordinary fellow, with a pretty girlfriend named Luba. He's constantly getting yelled at by his boss for missing work, and Luba also wonders about his frequent absences. What neither of them know is that Yuri, in his spare time, is a car thief. Not a regular car thief, though: he specifically targets corrupt profiteers who buy fancy cars with their ill-gotten gains. After he steals the cars, he sells them and gives the money to orphanages. One target, a storekeeper named Dima who traffics in smuggled goods, so irritates Yuri that Yuri tries three times before successfully stealing his car.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The cops know about the serial car thief, and a detective named Maxim is on the case. When he's not catching criminals, Maxim acts in an amateur theatrical group. Also in the amateur theatrical group is, you guessed it, Yuri the car thief.Anatoly Papanov, who appears as Dima's scornfully disapproving father-in-law, was the voice of the wolf in the iconic Soviet animated series Nu, Pogodi!. | |

Book-Ends: The opening narration talks about how "Audiences like thrillers" because they know how they're going to end. Then in the last minute the narrator makes that comment again, right before the end, where Yuri finds Luba again in a No Ending ending. | |
