Even Brezhnev adored her.
Works by Leonid Gaidai are called reference classics. Even modern directors learn to create comedies, focusing on the experience of the master. In his paintings, humor was reflected literally at every stage: from the script and the construction of shots to the facial expressions of the actors.
But it is in vain to believe that only Gaidai’s tapes were valued in the USSR. Far from being “The Diamond Arm” or “Ivan Vasilievich Changes His Profession” was once called the best Soviet comedy.
The palm belonged to the work of Tatyana Lukashevich – “The Foundling”. The story of a spontaneous girl who left home and almost ended up in the foster families of Muscovites touched every viewer. The script for the film was created by Rina Zelenaya and Agniya Barto. And not only film critics, but also officials were delighted with the game of Faina Ranevskaya.
Even when Leonid Brezhnev presented the artist with the Order of Lenin, he could not resist and remembered her famous phrase “Mulya, don’t make me nervous!”, Which went to the people. The screen star only reined in the Secretary General.
