The movie star hid from the audience for many years.
In the Soviet Union, filmmakers did not shy away from the “bourgeois” habit of flashing in the frame. Such an appearance is called a cameo, but only the most attentive of the audience could recognize it. Today, any picture can be paused and found in many old films by famous directors.
George Danelia resorted to this technique more than once. He can be seen in the Kin-dza-da! in the small role of Abradox, a resident of the planet Alpha. In “Eagle and Tails” the master appears as an employee of the design institute, and in “Mimino” he is the commander of the crew, with whom the hero Vakhtang Kikabidze speaks. But in one of the films, the director was not noticed for many years, because he chose the most inconspicuous place in the frame for himself.
Everyone remembers how Nikita Mikhalkov walks around the capital in the film “I’m walking around Moscow.” But the shoe shiner, who sits in his booth during the rain, has not been noticed for many years. But it was precisely this role that Georgy Nikolayevich played in his own film. He literally hid in front of everyone.
