I can't find the church sequence, but here is the end of the Hutsul Wedding of Ivan and Marichka fom "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" (Tini zabutykh predkiv). A typical Carpathian wedding, you can even hear the wedding party sing what sounds like the music to the "Moleben to Jesus Lover of Mankind" (Oj Isuse...)!

I didn't know Hutsuls hand the word "fajno"(fine,good) in their Carpathian dialect!
Back to Ivan the Terrible - it's enjoyable but not authentic, Not particularly surprising. I must attempt to locate the text of the Coronation service.
Yes, it is available on VHS at Amazon.com but not on DVD.
However, you can check this out: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-405358505371509523 Українська плівка - Ukrainian movie - ukrainischer Film
I am at work at the moment so I can't download it here. Does anyone know if it can be downloaded and then put on a DVD? Or am I dreaming in technology??

The music for the Panachida for Ivan at the end of the film sounds like the Subcarpathian melody for "So duchi pravednymi"!
Your wish is my command, my Brother. I have transposed the video to NTSC DVD, and will gladly send you a copy if you provide me an address. Of course, I changed the language to Russian (Kidding! )
It is an interesting movie indeed. It probably was only seen by the members of the Soviet Academy of Arts when it was made in 1964. Very interesting movie showing the many superstitions of the Eastern Slavs of the Carpathians!
I bought the "Shadows" dvd from Ebay. It is released by petrovka.ua and very high quality. It is in the PAL format so it only plays on computer dvd drives and not western hemisphere brand dvd players. You can even select to have a "Great Russian" language over dubbing narration. I prefer to listen to the Hutsul dialect. Well worth the $20.33.
