Previous PostPrevious Movie “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears” Even the official poster of the film in different countries was very different. For example, in the Soviet Union, the first poster was without the main character on it. Or rather, it was, but at the bottom almost invisible. As explained to Vladimir Menshov, the director of the film, they did not find a high-quality photo of actress Vera Alentova.

The conversation around was only about the movie “Moscow does not believe in tears”, even far beyond Moscow.



For Vladimir Menshov, this was a huge happiness. On his account it was the second picture. The first film, "The Joke," was not popular.

And Menshov became the second Soviet director to receive this award. For this, he was not released from the country, and he never got to the presentation of the main film award of the world. For which a separate "gratitude" to colleagues in the shop "Mosfilm".



One of those who was against the success of the picture was Menshov’s teacher Yuli Raizman. He and other employees of Mosfilm at a regular meeting with the chairman of the USSR State Film Committee expressed their negative attitude to the film. They called it cheap and called for action. But neither the director of Mosfilm nor the chairman of the State Film Agency expressed their unambiguous position regarding the picture and Menshov himself. And they were absolutely right, because Brezhnev liked the film. Who would argue with the head of state?



Instagram Criticism and queues in cinemas That only such consolation did little to help Menshov. He finally fell through. He started drinking. And the drinkers were always there. How many talented people have been ruined by bitterness. And only Sergey Nikitin tried to distract Menshov from gloomy thoughts. He came to him with new songs and talked about what new movie they were going to do. So gradually Menshov came out of a state of depression. But he continued to collect newspaper clippings criticizing his film Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. And people did not stop, and they still went to the cinema to see the film.
