Soviet classics: actors. "Hearts of four" (1941): characters and actors

There are Soviet films that make the modern viewer rejoice over our history. They allow empathy to the heroes, they admire their fierce passion and love of life. All this fully applies to the classic classic of the romantic comedy series "Hearts of Four" (1941). It's hard to believe that this bright and life-affirming film was shot on the eve of the beginning of such a terrible era. It need not be said that party officials once considered it inappropriate and released it only after the end of the Great Patriotic War. However, in the military and post-war years, people wanted one thing: the hope for a bright future and the fact that soon everything will be fine.

Relevance at All Times

In this film, the actors of genius are gathered. "Hearts of the Four" conquered with their simplicity, carelessness, but at the same time seriousness is not one generation of moviegoers. The real boom of the film's popularity came in the 90s, when the old Soviet classics were often broadcast on television. People, tired of the new unsightly realities, were pleased with nostalgia for a bright, beautiful and almost carefree past. The film is popular in our days. Many young spectators say that the "Hearts of Four" will give odds to modern tapes of this genre, and the theme of love and the relationship of the sexes will be relevant at all times.

Story line

At the beginning of the fortieth military in the country were in high demand as never before. However, one of the tank regiments near Moscow was quartered. The company's impressive company commander, Pyotr Kolchin (Evgeny Samoilov), falls into the spotlight of a young, frivolous student, Shurochka (Lyudmila Tselikovskaya). All would be nothing, but only a girl long and hopelessly in love with the biologist Gleb Zavartsev. Shurochka has an older sister who, unlike her, is seriously attuned, makes a scientific career, teaches at Moscow State University, writes methodological aids and textbooks. At first glance, Galina Murashova (Valentina Serova) is not focused on love, the girl has other life priorities.

The turning point in the story

The beginning of change can be considered a random misunderstanding. Confusion between the sisters, funny plot twists and turns, pairing, intrigue, tears and hope - all this, after all, leads to the desired outcome. The viewer, who watches the film for the first time, will never guess how the pairs will fit. For this, the actors tried their best. "Hearts of Four" is a film that throughout the narrative leads to its logical conclusion, but it sows some doubts in the minds of people.

Director and cast

This film is made in the tradition of the French vaudeville, light and cheerful. No wonder that during the war he was banned. We still have to pay tribute to fate for the fact that the tape was fully filmed by the summer of 1941. However, in the 80 years, some scenes had to be reanimated. For the scoring of certain pieces were invited to the active at the time actors. "Hearts of Four" received a new life. If you carefully listen to the voices of Yevgeny Samoilov and Vsevolod Sanayev while watching the film, you will understand which parts were reanimated by artists in old age. The voice of a 70-year-old man is different from what he was many years ago.

The film was directed by Konstantin Yudin. Yuri Milyutin wrote music for the film. The roles of two relatives, but these are not similar to each other sisters performed the two most demanded actresses of his time. Valentina Serova (Galina Murashova) was the muse of Konstantin Simonov. She was very fit image of a tough, intelligent and wayward heroine. Colossal dialogues between Galina and Pyotr Kolchin have long since split up into quotations. Lyudmila Tselikovskaya (Shura Murashova), who issued aphorisms one by one, did not lag behind her colleague. In this nice carelessness, lightheadedness and even stupidity, we do not see anything criminal.

The image of Shura is so cheerful and light that she can forgive some shortcomings. Even when she unites against her sister and Gleb, knowing full well that the young man is in love with her, we do not see a game in it. Pavel Shpringfeld coped well with the role of "botanist". His statements are also full of shrews and the truth of life, and sometimes the awkward image evokes a smile from the viewer. Many people find that Shurochka and Gleb perfectly complement each other. She wanted a girl to play in love, she looked at the gallant officer, but in the end, Shura understands which of the young people she really needs. For this insight, we want to forgive her all the intrigues that she wove against her own sister.

Roles of the second plan

A special mention is the neighbor of the Murashov family on a communal apartment - the manicurist Tamara Spiridonovna (Irina Murzaeva). The brilliant actress played her small role brightly and unforgettably. What does her mysterious smile mean while she calls one of the sisters to the phone. Oh, it's no accident Galina gave herself out with an unexpected acquaintance with Kolchin for a manicurist.

The mother of the Murashov family, Antonina Vasilyevna (Lyubov Dmitrievskaya), a woman is positive in every way. Without exaggeration, it is one of those on whom the Russian land rests. The men's secondary roles are represented by professors-teachers and quartered military men. The film was shot: Andrei Tutyshkin (professor), Rostislav Plyatt (professor of literature), Vsevolod Sanaev (rank-and-file Red Army Eremeev), Alexander Antonov (Colonel), Anatoly Soloviev (junior lieutenant Naidenov) and others. Vera Krasovitskaya played the famous song "Everything was around the blue and green".

On the role of Soviet cinema

In this publication we are talking about the Soviet pre-war romantic comedy, which has become a classic of the genre. We have already got acquainted with the roles and found out what wonderful actors are in the film. "Hearts of the Four" are a symbol of an era, this film wants to watch regardless of time, taste preferences and age characteristics. Indeed, the date of release of the picture should not embarrass anyone. As we all know, in the first half of the twentieth century, we in the country were able to shoot a good movie. Cinematography was not a business or a means of achieving popularity by individual actors. Each picture shot in the pre-war or post-war time had a deep message, despite the seeming simplicity.

Any profession is honored and respected

In this film, we learn the value of relations, admire the people born immediately after the revolution. Many of them found their place in life. Some became scientific workers and teachers, others are selflessly in love with nature or found their calling in defending their homeland. In Soviet-era communal apartments, it was possible to meet completely different characters. As you can see, next to the mathematician, the manicurist perfectly coexists (we recall that this role was performed by Irina Murzaeva). The images of the military are reflected flawlessly. Even ordinary Red Army men are trustworthy. It becomes clear why our country was able to withstand during the Great Patriotic War, why people so selflessly loved their homeland.

Fantasies on the theme "What happened to the heroes on"

Sometimes we fantasize about "What became of each hero after the war". How did the biologist Gleb (Pavel Shpringfeld) become, did he go to war? Did the gallant lieutenant Kolchin, who served as an apple of discord between the two sisters, remained alive and fell in love with a good half of the population of the post-Soviet space? In the hero of Eugene Samoilov, every woman who saw this picture sees a real man with his steel inner core.

Viewers' comments

Most of the spectators of the modern generation enthusiastically accepted the film "Hearts of Four". For many, he is one of the most beloved Soviet masterpieces of cinematography. "Hearts of Four" is a film for all time. If you have already watched this picture and remember the famous scene of a trip in a car, the dialogues between Galina (Valentina Samoylova) and Peter, probably you could forget some other, equally interesting details. Refresh this in memory with another viewing.

Conclusion

If, for some reason, you have missed this wonderful film from the field of view, we strongly recommend that you fill the gap. Do not like old movies? Do not be embarrassed by the release date. As we mentioned earlier, many modern tapes of this genre with good (and not so) songs are much inferior to this masterpiece. Sincere and romantic heroes even in delicate situations get somehow noble.

Looking at them, I want to not laugh at the heroes themselves, but laugh at the prejudices that fill any society. Ludmila Tselikovskaya recalls that "Hearts of Four" was her favorite painting. Not because, by and large, they gave it a start in life and national recognition. According to the actress, in this film she played herself.
