Leonid Gaidai's paintings have always stood a mansion in the Soviet cinema - perhaps this is one of the reasons why the comedy of the director, despite the past decades, still remain hotly loved ones, and jokes and songs from them went into the people. No exception and film "Caucasian Captive, or New Adventures of Shurika", released on the screens of the USSR cinemas in 1967.
About where the film was filmed, and about the involvement of interesting facts - in the material 24cm.
Idea and embodiment
The idea of the picture appeared at Gaiday after reading the note in the newspaper about the abduction of the girl in love with Djigit in the same Caucasian republics. So nothing surprising that part of the material was filmed in the mountains of the Caucasus - in the Red Polyana, in Sochi and on the Mzymte River. Although more time, cinematographers still held in the Crimea - landscapes in the vicinity of Alushta and in the Massandra district, and near Ai-Petri were suitable.Almanac
According to the initial idea, the continuation of the adventures of an innocent student in glasses was called "Shurik in the mountains" and was an almanac consisting of 2 parts. The first is the rescue of the Nina's girl, which was kidnapped by Caucasian customs. In the second - Schurik, together with the rescued, looking for a snow man.
But Leonid Gaidai, who wanted to remove the Full-length film, left only the abduction, and the Yeti, who was pretended by the experienced, coward and balbes to hold police officers, removed. So the film "Caucasian Captive" found his final, familiar viewers views.
Nina
It is believed that the director tried a lot of girls, including experienced actresses for the role of Komsomolskaya Nina. And Natalia Varley was on samples by chance - came to get acquainted with Guydaem. Leonid Iovich drew attention to the girl and asked if he was able to play in a swimsuit. Varley did without any problems, because for the circus actress it is practically working clothes, and changed clothes - she was counted bold and liberated and took into the picture.Champagne Foundation
When the film "Caucasian Captive" was filmed, Gaidai introduced an entertaining game on the site - the actors came up with funny tricks. For each successful, worthy to get into the frame and received a "good" director who came up with a bottle of champagne - Leonida Iovich had a solid stock of sparkling wine.
Balbes can be
The replica that the party member was stolen in the neighboring area, performed by Frunzik Mkrtchana censorship rejected - they were afraid that the audience would seem reliable to the audience. Yuri Nikulin suggested the output - suggested that this ill-fated phrase in the picture his character said. From the face of the Balbes, this sounded so in stupid that there were no problems with approval. After all, it is immediately clear that the character is a plow and a liar."Start"
In the final frames of the film, the heroine of Natalia Varley leaves at the start of the "Start" minibus, which presented an experimental sample of a car with fiberglass trim. From 1963 to 1970, less than 100 pieces of such machines were released, and in general, only museum exhibits reached this day. What, in particular, the cause was the material from which the body was performed.
Saakhov
The surname of the "Main Village" performed by Vladimir Evenly changed - initially instead of Comrade Caachov, a district scale worker who decided to abduct the girl you like, was ohohov (according to some versions, ahotov). But in the Soviet party nomenclature of that time, an official was found with such a kind of surname.
And by the end of the shooting, the Patorg "Mosfilm" Leon Saakov began to be outraged - she considered that Gaidai parods him in this way. The film "Caucasian Captive" would have to renovate, but Ekaterina Fursheva intervened. Noticing that the hero could call and Ivanov (and officials with such a surname PRUD), she asked for what reasons the fool could not wear Ivanov's name and it takes to spend government money for the alteration of paintings because of a stupid whim.
