Wish upon a Pike, also known as The Magic Fish[1] (Russian: По щучьему веленью, romanized: Po shchuchemu veleniyu), is a 1938 fantasy film directed by Alexander Rowe, which was his debut and filmed at Soyuzdetfilm.[2] It is adapted from a play by Yelizaveta Tarakhovskaya, itself based on At the Pike's Behest and other tales from Slavic folklore.[3] At the time it was made, it was seen as controversial in the Soviet Union to direct films based on fairy tales due to government censorship.[4]
The film tells the story of Yemelya the fool who catches a magical pike that grants him wishes in exchange for its life.[5][6]
