Comedy Ryazanov "Old Nags": actors, roles, plot

The theme of today's article is the plot of the film "Old Nags." The cast will be presented here as well. "Old Nags" - a kind and easy comedy, designed, however, to show problems that can affect each of us.

The idea of the film

Human life is depreciating, selfish motives are filled with the souls of the majority of the inhabitants of the country - this was the situation in Russia in the nineties. And it was this problem that was illuminated, albeit in a rather comic way, by the creators of the movie "Old Nags". Actors and roles were chosen brilliantly. As, however, in all the films of the master of comedy Eldar Ryazanov. One of the last pictures of the Soviet and Russian director is not devoid of optimism. Friendship and self-confidence can overcome even the most terrible difficulties - this is the main idea of the film "Old Nags".

The actors in the film played pretty well-known. The main characters were Lyudmila Gurchenko, Svetlana Kryuchkova, Liya Akhedzhakova and Irina Kupchenko. Actresses will be discussed in more detail below. First, it's worth briefly outlining the story.

Gloomy Times

The main characters are women, whose mature years fell at the period of perestroika. Old age is coming, but at the end of life a person, as is known, is not inclined to change.

We have to rebuild, but not all are ready for this. Women earn extra money to have at least some money, but meanwhile humiliations and insults are heard every day. Simple-minded Lyuba, by his imprudence, is expelled from his own apartment, and from now on he lives in a closet on the edge of the cemetery. The blame for everything is a fraudulent entrepreneur - the main negative hero of the comedy "Old Nags". Actor Nikolai Fomenko did not first enter the image of a scoundrel.

Actors: "Old Nags"

In "Lunar Pope" Fomenko played the destroyer of maiden's honor. In this picture of the artist the Russian audience saw for the first time in the image of the hero an unpleasant, but not devoid of charm. The film by Bakhtiyor Khudoynazarov was released in the same year as "The Old Nags".

The actors who played the role of other characters in the comedy Ryazanov, the task was more difficult than that of Fomenko, who had only to create on the screen a stereotypical image of a swindler and a scoundrel. The stars of the domestic cinema - Valentin Gaft, Mikhail Evdokimov, Roman Kartsev - played more complex and interesting characters. The latter, by the way, is known more as a variety artist. In the films, he shoots a little, but each of his image is vivid and memorable. Suffice it to recall Shvonder from the "Dog Heart".

Mamuka Kikaleishvili, Medzhid Akhedzhakov, Eugene Voskresensky, Andrei Butin, Mikhail Derzhavin, Igor Pismenny - these actors in the "Old Nags" played secondary characters. About how the plot of Ryazanov's picture unfolds later is described below.

A sly plan

To restore justice, her friends had to take a rash and very brave step. Tracking a businessman was pretty easy, because he did not hide. But on the way to the girlfriends was his driver, who suspected something. It did not become a problem! Women have achieved his dismissal. Now it's time to get busy with Khomenko.

Actresses

Former union activist Elizabeth in her youth did not know the lights off from the men. This helped her friends in their business. Applying the appropriate makeup, dressed in the latest fashion, the old lady went to tempt a businessman, introducing himself as a rich German. Elizabeth was played by Lyudmila Gurchenko. The actress met Ryazanov in 1956, on the set of the film "Carnival Night", where Eldar Alexandrovich acted as the second director. But their paths diverged. Ryazanov and Gurchenko did not communicate for more than twenty years.

Returning to the plot, it is worth saying that he has, of course, a happy ending. Despite the gloomy times that are depicted in the film. Elizabeth managed to rewrite the apartment back to the legal owner, and steal the relevant documents. Justice was restored.

And, finally, a few words about other performers in the comedy "Old Nags". The flowering of Ryazanov's creativity took place in the seventies. It was then that a special creative team was formed, into which Liya Akhedzhakova entered. The actress played in the comedy Lyuba.

The star of Svetlana Kryuchkova has risen after the premiere of the film "The Great Change". In the comedy Ryazanov, she played a broken saleswoman pies, and in the past - a railroader. Irina Kupchenko performed the role of candidate of science, forced to work part time on a car wash. Fame for this actress came in the late 60's. The images of aristocratic heroines, created by Kupchenko, entered the history of Soviet cinema.
