"Old Hottabych" Bashny.Net

As you know, as a valuable historical source can be used not only old photos and newsreels, and feature films. Of particular interest is colored Soviet films of the 1950s, when the use of color photography in the USSR was still relatively rare.
I propose to see some interesting screenshots of the famous film "The Old Man Hottabych", filmed in 1956. There are many interesting old Moscow and will take all of Soviet life. The film is widely used combination of shooting, not only for any "magic" scenes. Here at the street somehow drawn the entire background. Moscow Is this generally?





In front of the stage bathing the recently opened hotel "Ukraine" is visible yet undeveloped Smolenskaya Embankment



Wonderful view from the roof of the hotel "Beijing" It seems that in this perspective, the city has not changed much since that time (constructed building of the Ministry of Maritime Transport on the Garden + Moscow City appeared on the horizon).



Flight over Moscow on the area of ​​three stations to the Garden Ring. Unfortunately, the sharpness is bad, but I still see the old two-storey building, which no longer exists.



Colorful figures in the typical yard mladsheklassnikov



Of course, the size of the room give the home side elitism, but the situation is quite authentic
