Movies Leonid Gaidai about the North Caucasus

«Caucasian aptive» April 3, 1967 the premiere of a Comedy by Leonid Gaidai "the Caucasian captive, or Shurik's New adventures". Let us recall the most vivid images from your favorite movie and curious facts from the history of its creation

Leonid Gaidai loved the Sunny Crimea, and many of his films were filmed there. "Prisoner of the Caucasus" was no exception. Most of the filming took place near the town of Alushta. Guides still lead the tourists to a tree, sitting on which, the hero Yuri Nikulin, Bobby, threw nuts. From sprawling 600-year-old hazel is a sign that says: "the Nikulinskiy nut".

The donkey, on which the beginning and the ending of the Comedy Shura rides on a mountain road, has become a living mascot of the film. With donkey Lucy, who starred in the role of cartage student Shurik, relationships on the set were not easy. Taming it was only Natalya Varley, which Lucy obeyed without a murmur. But Alexander Demyanenko had to carry in Trouser pockets sugar, to appease the cranky animal. By the way, Gaidai strictly prohibited assault and battery against Lucy, so I agreed with the donkey on the set only by means of the carrot. After filming the donkey became a local living landmark and more than 40 years he lived at the Simferopol station of young naturalists.

“ 12 chairs”

"12 chairs" - one of the best comedies that took the famous Soviet film director Leonid Gaidai in 1971 on the novel by I. Ilf and Petrov. Comedy filmed in two series: "The ice was broken" and "The meeting continues." Premiere took place on June 21, 1971.
