Don't Grieve (Russian: Не горюй!; Georgian: არ იდარდო!) is a 1969 Soviet comedy-drama film directed by Georgiy Daneliya. The film is loosely based on the novel "My uncle Benjamen" by French writer Claude Tillier.

In the end of the 19th century, a young doctor, Benjamen Glonti, returns to a small village in his native Georgia after finishing his medical studies in St. Petersburg. A series of comic events unfold around him.
