Old men-robbers Bashny.Net

In 1971, screens out Soviet art comedy Eldar Ryazanov, "Old men-robbers." The shooting of this film took place in Lviv. Today we will go to famous places of filming and find out how they look now.




The film starring outstanding Soviet actors. The mere name of Yuri Nikulin on the Billboard guaranteed full houses. In addition to his film stars Eugene Evstigneev, Georgy Burkov, Valentine Talyzina, Andrei Mironov, Alexander Shirvindt Olga Aroseva and many more well-known actors. Early in the film credits roll on the background of the city of Lviv, shot from the High Castle. Next, the camera falls. Flashes tram on the street. Gorodetsky.



Then the shot gets Avenue Shevchenko. Yes, then along the avenue "walked" trolley.



This is a picture taken by an unknown photographer in the 1950s. Then the Italian Lombardy poplar still retain their shape, and cruised along the avenue trolleybus №3. Prospect, by the way, was named in 1955, until 1871 it was the street Academic, as was located near the university and the students then called academics. Even earlier, in the 15th century the street was called Garbarski, and in 1927 it was renamed St. Jan.



Now this place looks like this:



Poplars have long been removed and replaced dwarf maples. In general, we did the right thing, because poplar fluff quite reach them. Unfortunately, the opportunity to remove the top prospect I had.



Further, the camera got kionooperatora mirror installed at the intersection for safety. Now there is no such mirrors. It stood at the intersection of the tram from the main avenue from the town hall.



Around here in this place, it is now close to a monument to Shevchenko.



That this kind of decided I did not even take pictures. Corner of Market Square and the streets of Russian. Now everything around and left.



The hero Yuri Nikulin - the investigator Nikolai Sergeyevich Myachikov goes to work past the monument to Adam Mickiewicz. The monument does not hit the shot. In general, operators appear to have tried in every way to hide the scene of the film. Numerous Lviv Church also cleverly overlooked. At the service Nikulin comes into the office chief, played by Burkov, and together they are sent to the site of the robbery of a shoe store.



So they drove up to robbing a store, whose director - Professor Pan of zucchini "13 chairs and diamonds" in a hurry to meet him. "Honour" being robbed in this film got to the store "Elegant" on all the same Shevchenko avenue. It is true on the other side.



In 90 years on the avenue to the great "joy" car owners put cobblestones and ride on it was nice. By the way, just to the left, there is cafe "Tsisarska cava", in which the last time "sitting" Lviv composer Bilozir. There he expressed his dissatisfaction that the song is performed in Russian, which caused the conflict, in which he was taken to hospital and died.



Shop "Elegant" in Soviet times was popular, there is often "gave" the deficit. I even remember that somewhere in the 70s Lviv newspaper wrote something about exposing major scams in this store.



Then, with a deficit at all everything was just closed the store, and now occupies the premises "Restaurant" "McDonald's."



The store Nikulin found an underground passage, and he sent for him Burkov. On the way Burkov tells him that he should write a letter of retirement, as was instructed by an unidentified chief investigator into place to attach "thug" hero Andrei Mironov. They appear on the surface of the two manholes and continue to carry on a conversation.



Nikulin is clearly dumbfounded prospect of retirement and Burkov inexorable. He states that Nikulin useless investigator.



Place "ascent" characters can be determined by flashed in the frame of the church of St. Nicholas, by the way, the oldest church in the city. Luc is now the only one here, but the place exactly.



While Nikulin climbs on sewerage and talking with the head of his "friend" - the hero Eugene Evstigneeva changed his mind to retire, as it so flattered when the wires that he felt indispensable. When he learns that Nikulin driven to retire due to lack of high-profile cases disclosed to them, then it offers to steal "Rembrandt" from the museum, then to his friend to solve this crime.



Exhibition of paintings by Rembrandt staged in Lviv City Hall. Nikulin categorically refuses to rob a museum.



But then he meets a hero Andrei Mironov, whom he expelled from the prosecutor's office with a pistol borrowed from sentry.



Familiarity with Mironov Nikulin forces to take extreme measures. He meets and agrees to Evstigneev robbery museum.



That is the very gate through which the hero goes Evstigneeva.



The meeting takes place on a bench near the church of Mary Magdalene.



But the church itself is not shown in the film, but only flashed here this fence.





From the place where the shop was located, on which sat Nikulin and Evstigneev, overlooking the streets of the world. In the background stands the tower of the church of St. Lazarus.



"Rembrandt" heroes stole without too much difficulty. It is clear that in Soviet times was foreign to alert people. Another thing right now. In the early '90s in Lviv has been committed armed attack on the art gallery, during which two officers were killed and three stolen paintings, which are still not found. However, I digress. Later in the film it played out when Nikulin took voice in the TV for the ambush Evstigneeva called and said that there is a give and all the blame will assume. Yevstigneev immediately ran to surrender himself. It is this frame allowed me to set the location of the "Prosecutor's Office».



Place the "prosecutors" in the archive room, next to the Royal Arsenal on the square of Ivan Fedorov.



Now here is the spontaneous "book" the market. However, here only sell old books. The lobby and interior of the archive I was not allowed to take pictures. They say - a secret facility.



However, all you can see from above, though under a different angle.



Further, the film characters are found near the museum and think about how to return the painting to the place as no one noticed the theft.



This place was quite a find.



Then the irrepressible frustrated pensioner Yevstigneev pushes Nikulin robbery friend collector - Pavlova played by Olga Aroseva. "Volga" from the collector leaves the territory. the church of St. Nicholas.





The location is quite picturesque. Not surprisingly, the later is "lit up" musketeers:



But again digression. Lady Monica goes for the revenue of a bread shop.



And next to her waiting Nikulin



Amazingly, forty years later, this place is a bread shop. Not sure its workers today know the story of the movie.



Then Nikulin Dragomanova runs down the street, and the driver - Durov and Mrs. Monica pursue it.



Here, too, almost nothing has changed. Further, the film begins downright nonsense generated by the writers mind Bragin and Ryazanov. Nikulin he puts himself into the chamber, and the chief refuses to believe him. The museum's claim that it was impossible to steal the painting and Burkov offers its investigator heal. Personally, I can not help think that the filmmakers had the desire to have a good rest at public expense, to remove some nonsense, that it has not passed the censorship, because where there is some criticism of the shortcomings that have occurred in our country, and then to assert their spread rot Soviet power. Also, I think that the film would just shut down, if not the actors who starred in it. After all, these were favorites of the public.



The final shot of the film: "old" Nikulin, and Yevstigneev Aroseva at sunset walking on the street Lysenko towards the Powder Tower.
