Superconducting films of BaPb/sub 1-x/Bi/sub x/O/sub 3/ were prepared by laser evaporation and heat treatment of the resultant films in air. A study was made of the behavior of the film resistance in the course of evaporation and heat treatment, and also at low temperatures in magnetic fields up to 40 kOe. It was found that heat treatment at 550 /sup 0/C resulted in an irreversible fall of the resistance by more than 8--10 orders of magnitude and in the appearance of superconducting properties in films of compositions within the range 0.05< or =x< or =0.30. The temperature dependences of the resistance of films with rhoapprox.1--10/sup 4/ ..cap omega.. x cm had maxima associated with phase transitions. It was also found that in the case of the films with the compositions x = 0.25 and 0.30 the temperature dependences of the critical magnetic field differed considerably from those predicted by the BCS theory.
