Ukhar Kupets (Russian: Ухарь купец; the title is variously translated as The Dashing Merchant or The Happy-Go-Lucky Merchant) is a 1909 silent (Russian-language intertitles) short drama film shot by the Moscow division of the French company Pathé Frères. It was the first hand-colored Russian film. It was based on the folk song known under the same title based on the 1859 short poem Ехал из ярмарки ухарь-купец by Ivan Nikitin.
