A hero of our time


The role of the clumsy, naive but deep down brave and resourceful Seeds Gorbunkova was written specifically for Yuri Nikulin. "Song about hares" in his performance became one of my favorite drinking songs, and the catch phrase "I'm not a coward, but I'm scared!" in everyday life, even lost binding to the film.

The famous explanation of the fracture: "I Slipped and fell. Woke up – gypsum!" became a hit, as the phrase on her robe, "you are not the same, but with pearl buttons?", after which fatal beauty Anna attracts Seeds to the hotel room.

The role of Svetlana Svetlichnaya rather episodic, but it turned out so bright that Flirty exclamation: "Not guilty I, he has come!" has glorified it forever.

No arms Lelik!


Amazingly alive and funny turned images of hapless smugglers – refined GeSHi Kozodoeva and dark of Venus. Star Andrei Mironov was shining in its full splendour after the role of GeSHi, so it is true that catchphrase belong to him. The shining smile on the faces Mironov, when the "flick of the wrist pants turn... turn pants..." and abroad Gesha feels in his element: "Rousseau tourists look morale!", "Ilulu later!".
During filming in the middle of the lake Andrei Mironov hysterically screaming: "help! Help! Mommy-Ah!", his cries came the real rescuers.


Brutal enforcer Papanova contrasts well with the elegant crook Mironova, so the people left the whole dialogue of these characters. "I need to take a bath, drink a Cup of coffee..." says Gesha, to which Venus replies, "you Will be there and bath, you will Kofe, and be sure which sounds tea!".

The famous phrase of Anatoly Papanova:
• "No, I can not go!"
• "Baba - flowers, child - ice cream!"
• "For others to drink even teetotalers and ulcer!"
• "May you live on one salary!"

Even the climactic fight at the car wash famous first sentence: "And you come off a mustache!", which Simon exposes Lelik. "Thank you!" - calmly said the Lelik and he spat on us, sticks it back in.


Of the supporting characters scored super Ivy in the performance of Nonna Mordyukova. After the film critics a cool attitude to the game, but it's a formidable lady embodies the powerful image of the Soviet hypocrisy. "Our people in the bakery on the taxi ride!" - she speaks accusingly.

Wife Seeds of Hope (actress Nina Grebeshkova) is shown as a positive Soviet woman – strong-willed, but sweet and touching. "I know everything! You are not closed and an open fracture!".
