What was the name of the most famous detective series in the USSR? Of course, “ The venue cannot be changed ” (1979). Actor and poet Vladimir Vysotsky played his most famous film role in the film. Thanks to him , several scenes that became legendary appeared in the picture. The image that he created on the screen became one of the most famous in Soviet cinema. Moreover, if it were not for Vysotsky, the picture “ The meeting place cannot be changed ” (1979) would never have been released . The actors of this film will be discussed in today's article.
"Era of Mercy"
How was the film “ Meeting Place Can't Be Changed ” Created? Actors and roles are usually selected at the first stage of preparation for the shooting . This is a long and difficult process, in which both the director and his assistants take part. But when creating the film “ The meeting place cannot be changed ” (1979), the actors and roles were determined even before the director was approved. At least to the authors of the script, the leading actor was known before meeting Stanislav Govorukhin.
Vladimir Vysotsky once read the Weiners book " Era of Mercy " . And then he decided that a film was needed for this work. Vysotsky without hesitation went to the Weiners and expressed the idea of a film adaptation. At the same time, he stated that it was he who should play the main role. Because no other actor can play Gleb Zheglov better . Viners liked the idea of Vysotsky. A few days later, a friend introduced them to the director Stanislav Govorukhin, who was supposed to make a film adaptation, but under a different name - " The meeting place cannot be changed. "
Actors and roles
So, the main role was played by Vladimir Vysotsky. By the way, Govorukhin had to make tests in order to prove to the members of the artistic council that it was this actor who could adequately play the captain of the police.
In the film " The meeting place cannot be changed " (1979) actor Vladimir Konkin played the role of Sharapova. Many members of the crew opposed this candidacy. Vladimir Vysotsky did not want to work with Konkin either . However, the young actor , in contrast to the popular favorite, had a brilliant reputation in the eyes of officials. Govorukhin had to approve him for the role of a self-confident investigator, seasoned by war. Vladimir Konkin did not match this image. However, he played well. Today it is difficult to imagine in his place another actors in the film " The meeting place cannot be changed. "
In 1979, the whole country knew Vysotsky. But he was an odious figure. In the movie, he played significantly fewer roles than he could and wanted. And he played mostly negative heroes. Vysotsky, as always, did not want to assert the role of Zheglov. But, as Govorukhin later admitted, without this actor of the film “ The meeting place cannot be changed ” (1979) would not have existed.
The film was played by V. Abdulov, A. Gradov, A. Milyutin, L. Perfilov , N. Danilova, A. Mironov, E. Leonov-Gladyshev, Z. Gerdt, S. Svetlichnaya, S. Jurassic, N. Fateev, A. Dzhigarkhanyan, L. Kuravlev, S. Sadalsky, I. Bortnik. About all the actors of the film “ The meeting place cannot be changed ” is briefly impossible to tell. Below is information about the performers of the most striking roles.
Vladimir Konkin
By the beginning of the filming of the film Govorukhin, the actor was not yet thirty. However, on his account there were already more than ten roles in the cinema. Vladimir Konkin made his debut in 1973, starring in the film How Steel Was Tempered. The role of Pavel Korchagin glorified him. A year later , the young actor auditioned for the lead role in Konchalovsky’s film " Romance of Lovers . " However, the director did not approve it.
In " Romance of Lovers " Vladimir Konkin played the brother of the protagonist. In his filmography, there are roles in such films as " Fathers and Sons " , " Appeal " , " Boulevard Romance " , " In the First Circle " . The peak of his career came at the end of the seventies. Often the actor played the military, although he himself did not serve in the army. The later works of Vladimir Konkin include a comic role in the film "The Princess on the Beans."
Vsevolod Abdulov
The actor made his film debut in 1960. He starred in the films Shield and Sword, Carousel, Day after Day , and others. In 1977, Abdulov, returning from filming from Baku, had a terrible accident. He underwent several complex operations and spent more than a year in the hospital. No one believed that Abdulov would be able to return to the profession after a car accident. Once Vysotsky came to him and brought the script to a new film based on the book of the Weiner Brothers. At that time, Abdulov found it difficult not only to act in films, but even to learn the role. But this had to be done in order to prove first of all to himself that life is not over yet .
The actor, after reading the script, chose a small role - the role of the traitor Peter Solovyov. When watching a movie, it’s hard to believe that the actor could hardly remember the remarks of his hero, which were few. According to the memoirs of Vsevolod Abdulov, often he even forgot the name of the main character. But despite everything, the actor played the role brilliantly.
Sergey Jurassic
This actor can be called one of the best in domestic cinema. Sergei Jurassic has been in films since 1958. On his account a huge number of wonderful roles. But above all, he is a theater actor. Govorukhin from the set had to go away more than once. In such cases, he " left for the elder " Vysotsky. The director later admitted that if the actor were allowed to make a film on his own, he would certainly have coped with this task. It was Vysotsky who invented the scene of the interrogation of Gruzdev. Jurassic played brilliantly.
Later, the actor starred in such films as “ Little Tragedies ” , “ Look for a Woman ” , “ The Fall of Condor ” , “ Love and Pigeons ” , “ Chekhov and Co. ” , “ Fathers and Sons ” . Sergey Yursky was awarded many awards. He has published two books on theatrical art - " An attempt to think, " " Who holds a pause. "
Interesting Facts
Evgeny Evstigneev, as you know, played a bandit of the forties. However, he appeared on the set in his own suit. The film was shot in a fairly tight mode. Govorukhin did not have time for disputes. Thus, Peter Ruchnikov appeared before the audience in a costume of the seventies.
Vladimir Vysotsky categorically refused to act in the form of an NKVD officer. But such a scene was necessary for the director . Otherwise, the censorship of the film would not have missed. Then Govorukhin came up with a scene in which Zheglov tries on a uniform, calling it " home clothes that you never had to wear. "
In all the films in which Vysotsky played, his songs sounded. The picture, which is discussed in today's article, is an exception. Vysotsky wrote two songs for this film, but the director refused to include them in the film. Then he asked the actor to perform Vertinsky's romance. Vysotsky sang, but between the lines he inserted replicas facing Sharapov.
For the created image of a police captain, Vysotsky was awarded a state prize posthumously. It was his penultimate role in the movie. About how popular his character gained, the actor never found out.
