Initially, the main role Litus suggested playing the Estonian artist Terrier Luik. The girl was very beautiful, but did not have a sense of humor, and the absence of this quality is unacceptable for playing in comedy. When the shooting of the picture was almost on the verge of closure, Mishurin proposed the role of Lyudmila, Good evening Nadezhda Rumyantseva. The surname of the main character, perhaps, was borrowed from the Soviet boxer, who was famous in the 20s of the last century.
Filming really took place on the territory of a working gas station, however, due to the fact that it is not entirely safe, they were banned. Therefore, the film crew had to build a fake gas station nearby.
