This story reminds fantastic scenario: a humble and quiet theater actor amateur with a touching Detochkin name actually is irreconcilable fighter with bribery and other criminals, and he is fighting for the good of children. While another actor of the same theater, that sort of activity is necessary to investigate the crimes of our "Robin Hood", he is presented as a cunning, crafty and elusive almost attacker. This original script was written by a talented duo of Soviet cinema - Eldar Ryazanov and Emil Braginsky ("Office Romance", "Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" And other blockbusters) based on the folk legend of the noble Theft Auto. Just at the time the legend was considered a true story, and Eldar Ryazanov has spent some time on the fruitless search for a prototype Detochkin - but in reality, this character does not exist ...



Originally planned for the role Detochkin Yuri Nikulin, but he, along with the circus went on tour to South Africa by nearly six months. Then auditioned Oleg Yefremov, but the role eventually gave Innocent Smoktunovsky and Efremov played militiaman Maxim Podberezovikova.

It is noteworthy that the two leading men - and Smoktunovskij, and Ephraim were comedians. Therefore their images turned out quite serious and even dramatic and comedy "Beware of the car!" Turned into a tragicomedy.
But popular and beloved comedians Soviet Andrei Mironov, Anatoly Papanov very easily and conveniently fit into the concept of the film, also providing the entire film crew cheerful workflow endless improvisation and sparkling humor. The work of Andrei Mironov as an "employee trade" by critics as one of his most successful.

Most of the scenes of the film shot on location and what is interesting in the beginning of the movie voiceover author argues that it is not known which city events occur.

Especially for shooting at the insistence of Innocent Smoktunovskij Ryazanov passed on a driver's license. Not really realistic picture story director tried to make up for maximum reliability shooting process: all the tricks were performed without stunt trick photography, that is, at full speed stunt slipped under the truck-racing pipe carrier, flew in the fast traveling trailer and threw the car into a ditch.
