Actors "Dima Gorin's Career": how it was ...

A wonderful picture of the sixties of the twentieth century "Dima Gorin's Career" is a typical hilarious Soviet comedy. Everything was filmed here very brightly, lightly, concisely without the addition of vulgar humor. Great actors were busy. “Dima Gorin’s Career” tells the viewer an interesting story about the adventure of a young man who, by absurd chance, should go to Siberia.

The essence of the film

We are talking about the fate of a modest and hardworking employee of the savings bank Dima Gorin, who one fine day accidentally gave a builder from Siberia a large sum of money.

The young man expects an increase, but until he corrects his mistake, there can be no talk of this.

Dima collects things and goes to Siberia to the construction site to do everything right. He resolves issues fairly quickly, but is in no hurry to return to Moscow. He, having forgotten about the carefree life of the capital and his usual office, is trying to learn how to be independent and tries to show firmness of character. In general, he learns to be a real man. At a construction site, Dima meets Galya, who works there. He feels that she is becoming the meaning of his life.

Dima or Shurik?

Very famous actors at that time worked in the team. "Dima Gorin's career" was an example of the youth of the sixties. The main role of Dima was embodied by the very Shurik beloved by many spectators - Alexander Demyanenko. He was already quite famous after the release of the series of films about the adventures of a kind and shy student. It was thanks to the comedies that Gaidai Demyanenko received a creative kick of such strength that he soon became practically the most popular young man in the Soviet Union. The actor appeared in many famous Soviet films, he was invited to television. He starred for the rest of his life.

Clever, beautiful, excellent student and Komsomol member

Yes, good actors were selected for the film. "Dima Gorin's career" was another interesting project in the creative fate of Tatyana Konyukhova, who played the role of Gali. At that time, she was already thirty years old, but her career was not as successful and fast as that of Demyanenko. And yet, in the film, one cannot fail to notice her amazing, inimitable play in a duet with Demyanenko. He tried very hard to look adult beyond his years and very intelligent, and she always remained cheerful, smiling and young.

Sofron or Zheglov?

Peerlessly played in the picture of Leo Mirsky and Frunze Dovlatyan actors. “Dima Gorin’s career” became another step in the creative path of Vladimir Vysotsky, who embodied the character of the driver Sofron on the screen.

There is an episode in the picture when Galya Berezka is driving in the cab of a car, Dima Gorin is in the back of the car, and the driver Sofron, according to the script, is pestering a girl. Vysotsky was very shy of these filming. He was still young, he did not have the necessary acting experience. This was his first noticeable role, and Konyukhova was a movie star for him, moreover, seven years older. For him to agree, a lot of effort had to be made. As a result, the scene was shot very nicely: Konyukhova laughed, and Vysotsky was embarrassed.

The role of the driver was initially not very great. But it was thanks to Vladimir Semenovich that the character turned out to be interesting and memorable. Vysotsky was very active, constantly encouraging the guys to do something new. The film even inserted several of his phrases. He brought some zest to a small role and significantly enlarged it.

So, the camera, the motor ...

By the beginning of the shooting of the film “Dima Gorin’s Career,” the actors had already gained some fame, but thanks to this picture, the audience’s sympathy for them increased many times over.

The shooting took place in the Carpathians. The artists lived with the installers and gradually tried to learn from them the minimum skills of such an unusual profession for them. I had to climb high-voltage poles and pull the wires.

At first Tatyana Konyukhova really did not like the script and her heroine - the object of the bright feeling of an ordinary accountant. And Demyanenko was six years younger than her. But her fate was already decided, which she never regretted.

For the filming period, all the actors lived in a hostel designed for installers in two large rooms: for boys and for girls. Going to parties, as a rule, with the guys. The only thing missing was Konyukhova, who at that time was pregnant and felt unwell. By the way, being in position, the actress famously jumped from a two-meter truck cab (as was written in the script).

To make the picture interesting, a lot of efforts were made by everyone who was involved in the release of such a film masterpiece as the film “Dima Gorin's Career” (1961). The actors and the roles that they played showed young people of that time. The artists were allowed to improvise, which was not just a holiday.

All for the audience

They were ready for all sorts of tricks. Konyukhova and Demyanenko even had to go by wire to meet each other. And they were located at a decent height. Konyukhov was not afraid of heights, she even had fun and funny. But Demyanenko was not sweet. He, according to the directors, had to go the way without glasses (to emphasize his masculinity), and without glasses he saw almost nothing. And then, according to the scenario, it was necessary to sit on the wires and swing ...
