In the USSR, did not know the words of the casting. Actors claim to a role in the movie, and the movie were fotoproby in exchange for a fee of 20-30 rubles.
On the same role auditioned sometimes dozens of artists who are now quite simply impossible to imagine in these images. D'Artagnan, for example, could play Vladimir Vysotsky, And Anna Karenina - Alla Pugacheva.
Watch amazing footage fotoproby unrealized and little-known projects of the Soviet cinema.
