This unusual story is known, perhaps, to all viewers who are over 20 years old. After all, the actors of the film “Old Robbers” (namely, he will be discussed) are not only well known, but also loved by a multimillion-dollar audience. Who played in this picture?
Retired involuntarily
Investigator Nikolai Sergeyevich Myachikov (played by Yuri Nikulin) is already 60. They are trying to get him into retirement, especially since there is already a new employee in his place. The head of the department motivates this by the fact that over the past month Myachikova failed to solve a single crime. But Nikolai Sergeevich convinces the boss to wait at least a month, and then he will certainly prove himself.
Valentin Petrovich Vorobyov (actor Evgeny Evstigneev) - Myachikov's best friend - also nearly retired. But the fiery speeches of his colleagues were so moved by him that he decided to work more. It is Vorobyov who tells a friend that for the remaining month they themselves need to organize and carry out the crime, which Myachikov will then investigate. None of the options for Valentin Petrovich Nikolai Sergeevich delight. In addition, it was with a friend Myachikov who met with collector Anna Pavlovna (actress Olga Aroseva) - Vorobyov’s neighbor, whom he really liked.
Soon, Valentin Petrovich invites a friend to the museum, where he offers him to "steal" a picture of Rembrandt. This will be a very resonant crime, the disclosure of which will not allow Myachikov to retire.
Friends so successfully played the role of museum staff who took the canvas for restoration that no one announced the theft. I had to return the picture. Then Myachikov and Vorobyov embark on a plan “B” - rob Anna Pavlovna ...
From idea to lyrical comedy
The idea to create the film "Old Robbers", the actors and roles of which are beloved by the audience, occurred to Eldar Ryazanov when he was being treated in a hospital. It was there that an elderly patient told the director how he was expelled from the prosecutor's office to retire, and by force. Ryazanov later told this story to Emil Braginsky. Together they created a scenario about the adventures of retired friends.
Actors were immediately approved for the main roles - Evgeny Evstigneev and Yuri Nikulin. Ryazanov saw Anatoly Kuznetsov as a young investigator who was planning to take Myachikov’s place. But the actor wanted to play one of the main roles. So, the candidate was played by Andrei Mironov.
Olga Aroseva was also approved immediately, only she had to learn how to shoot a pistol. The actress trained very responsibly, and then because of pain in her right hand she could not raise either a spoon or a handkerchief.
Many good actors starred in this film. The investigator of the prosecutor’s office was played by Georgy Burkov, the wife of Vorobyov, Valentin Vladimirov, the doctor, Gottlieb Roninson, and the secretary at the prosecutor’s office, who claimed that pensions should be given from 18 to 35, Valentina Talyzina. And in the picture you can see such celebrities as Lev Durov, Irina Murzaeva, Alexander Shirvindt, Yuri Belov. Ryazanov himself even starred as a passerby. However, so he did in many of his paintings.
Here they are - the actors of the movie "Old robbers."
