30 years ago, in the summer of 1988, the musical comedy melodrama by Alexander Polynnikov was released "Primorsky Boulevard" … This film became a cult movie, for the first time in the USSR video clips were shot (8 songs performed by "Merry Fellows"). "Primorsky Boulevard" is notable for the fact that the romantic atmosphere reigned not only on the set, but also outside it, and for many actors the film became fateful both in their creative and personal lives.
Anna Nazaryeva played the main role in the film. In the same year, the film "Criminal Talent" with her participation was released, after which she became a real star of the late 1980s. Anna began acting in films from the age of 4, when, while walking with her parents at VDNKh, the assistant to the director of the Gorky film studio drew attention to her and invited her parents to bring her to audition. Since then, she has rather successfully acted in feature films and in Yeralash. In the 7th grade, Anna Nazaryeva became a free listener at VGIK. Having studied in this way for 4 years with Sergei Gerasimov, after school she entered VGIK on a course with Alexei Batalov. It turned out that in total she was a student for 8 years! Therefore, the institute called her “the daughter of the regiment”.
The actress gained real popularity after meeting the director Alexander Polynnikov. Their first joint work took place when Anna was 14 years old, and Alexander - 42. Later, the director said: "".
Alexander Polynnikov worked as a director of photography and then as a director at the Odessa Film Studio, the shooting of Primorsky Boulevard took place in Odessa, and it is this city that Anna Nazaryeva now calls her second homeland. She and her husband bought an apartment here and come here every summer. In Odessa, Nazaryeva is remembered and recognized, still calling her Dasha - by the name of her heroine from Primorsky Boulevard.
Their romance began just during the filming of "Primorsky Boulevard". The film was about love, and the romantic atmosphere reigned not only on the set. The director showed Anna Nazareva Odessa, took her to Privoz, looked after her beautifully. And immediately after filming, a month before the actress came of age, they got married. And after the wedding, they continued to work together. In total, Nazaryeva starred in 12 films of her husband.
In addition to Anna Nazarieva, Olga Kabo and Alexander Kuznetsov also starred in Primorsky Boulevard. Both were novice actors, but if Olga then studied at VGIK and was not yet widely known, Kuznetsov by that time managed to play a role that became his calling card - in the film "Jack Vosmerkin - American".
During filming, they succumbed to the general atmosphere of love. Olga Kabo told: "". After the successful start of her film career, Olga Kabo starred in dozens of films and TV series, in total in her filmography at the moment there are more than 70 works.
Olga Kabo's heroine was a tour guide in Primorsky Boulevard. Once, several years after the release of the film, the actress came to Odessa. On the street, a married couple approached her with a question about how to get to the address they needed. Olga replied that she could not help them. They responded with indignation: "" Olga took this as a compliment: ""
The first notable work in the cinema "Primorsky Boulevard" was for Ilya Oleinikov, who at that time was an artist of the spoken genre in the Mosconcert and Lenconcert. In the script for the film, his character was not, and he got to the shooting quite by accident. The director said that he met a "mustachioed stranger" in the corridor of the Odessa film studio. He approached him with a request to take him in some episode - he came to visit, but there was no money for a return ticket to Leningrad.
Polynnikov recalled: "". It turned out that Ilya Oleinikov is a talented actor, of which the audience had the opportunity to be convinced in the 1990s, when, together with Yuri Stoyanov, they released the Gorodok program.
“Primorsky Boulevard” was also notable for the fact that video clips were filmed there for the first time in the USSR. Especially for this film, Vyacheslav Dobrynin wrote 8 songs, which were performed by "Merry Guys", Valentina Legkostupova and Olga Zarubina. After the release of the film, these songs became real hits, and the ensemble … broke up! And the director believes that it happened with his light hand. After all, it was during the filming that he advised Alexei Glyzin and Alexander Buinov to pursue a solo career. So new stars appeared on the stage.
Shortly after filming in Primorsky Boulevard, actor Alexander Kuznetsov, who played the main role in the film, left for the United States: How Jack Vosmerkin actually became an American.
