September 8 marks the 58th anniversary of the Georgian and Russian tetra and cinema actress Iya Ninidze, whose trademark is the film "Heavenly Swallows". When Andrei Mironov first saw his partner on the set, he said that it was impossible to have an affair with her and it was also impossible to play it! Why the novice actress Iya Ninidze did not please the star of Soviet cinema, and which of the famous artists the audience could see in this and other roles, - further in the review.
Iya Ninidze was the youngest and most inexperienced actress among the star cast that director Leonid Kvinikhidze brought together on the set of the movie "Heavenly Swallows". When she was approved for the role of Denise, she was only 14 years old, but this job was not her film debut. She started acting at age 7 and felt pretty confident in front of the camera. But the girl did not dream of an acting profession - she graduated from a choreographic school and was going to become a ballerina. But the incredible success that came to her after the role of Denise in "Heavenly Weasels" predetermined her entire future destiny.
Many doubted that the young actress would cope with such a large and complex role. But no one doubted the candidacy for the main male role - in this film Kvinikhidze, as well as in his previous work - "Straw Hat" - initially relied on Andrei Mironov, with whom he was tied not only by professional, but also by friendly relations … But when the famous actor first saw his partner, he exclaimed with a smile: "".
Mironov immediately began to "correct the situation" - at every convenient opportunity he fed the fragile Eia with buns, which immediately won the sympathy of her mother, in whom he found a comrade-in-arms. Later, the actress, laughing, recalled: "".
When Mironov came to Leningrad, he told everyone what "" he was shooting with. And Iya pissed him off when, in the presence of beautiful dancers from the crowd, she called him "".
Despite her age, the actress coped with the role brilliantly. However, due to the Georgian accent, Ninidze had to be voiced by another actress. The role in this film became fateful for the actress. She admitted: "".
The director gathered such a brilliant cast on the set that he almost did not have to explain anything to anyone - and the artists were grateful to him for allowing them to improvise and refine their images on their own. One of the most striking characters was Major Alfred Chateau-Jebus, played by Alexander Shirvindt. Today, it is simply impossible to imagine someone else in this role, and after all, Kvinikhidze originally planned to invite Vladimir Vysotsky. But at that time he was busy in several other projects and could not come to the shooting, so the role was given to Shirvindt.
Lieutenant Fernand Champlatro could have been played by Mikhail Boyarsky, but he preferred shooting in the film "The Eldest Son". Therefore, the famous singer Sergei Zakharov was invited to this role, for whom this work in the cinema was the first and only. At first, in this stellar company, he felt rather constrained, but Gurchenko, Mironov and Shirvindt helped him overcome the constraint. The director of the Leningrad Music Hall, Ilya Rakhlin, also played his only role in the cinema. In fact, he appeared in the form of himself - the director of a variety theater.
Lyudmila Gurchenko, like Andrei Mironov, came to this film after "The Straw Hat". Initially, she applied for the role of Denise, but the director thought she was more convincing in the image of the capricious actress Coco.
The musical comedy was based on F. Herve's operetta Mademoiselle Nitouche. True, many of her melodies have changed beyond recognition, and some were rewritten by composer Viktor Lebedev.
The film was released in 1976. At that time, no one suspected what tests the actors who played the main roles would have to face in the future: The dramatic fate of Sergei Zakharov.
