Unexpected candidates.
The choice of actors for the main roles in the film “Gentlemen of Fortune” was not easy. The stars of this film were Evgeny Leonov, Savely Kramarov and Georgy Vitsin. But in their place there could be a completely different trinity.
In particular, director Alexander Sery considered the candidacies of Andrei Mironov, Rolan Bykov and Yuri Nikulin. The director was ready to approve each of them. However, all three artists themselves refused to work in the project. Everyone had their own reasons, which remained a mystery.
Be that as it may, viewers are only glad that celebrities have disowned the images of repeat thieves. Most agree that the movie would have turned out much worse with them.
“It would be a completely different film,” “I absolutely can’t imagine Andrei Mironov and Rolan Bykov as criminals. Not their role, with all my great respect for both of them and the contribution that they made to Soviet and world cinema,” “It’s good that they didn’t play. It would be a complete failure.” – they write on the Internet.
