Comedy "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia": actors, roles, short story

With the help of the movie "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia" actors of Italian and Russian origin give the audience a small holiday for forty years already! But can it be otherwise, if the master of his work Eldar Ryazanov worked on the ribbon, as well as his Italian colleague Franco Prosperi?

The creators of the picture

In the movie "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia" actors, to be precise, are their heroes, rushing through the largest cities of the country in search of mythical treasures buried by a Russian emigrant. The plot of the comedy is famously twisted, and this is not surprising, as four people worked on the script at once: Emil Braginsky (the constant partner of Ryazanov), Eldar Ryazanov himself and his colleague Prosperi, and also some Giuseppe Mokkya.

The process of creating a screensaver was not easy: Ryazanov and Braginsky had to rewrite the script more than once. And for the first time it had to be done in Rome, when the director came to agree on filming with the famous Italian producer named D. de Laurentiis (he and his company were supposed to supervise this project).

Filming took place both in Italy and in the USSR. Complex car stunts were performed by Italian racers. However, you can not write off the actors: there are moments in the picture when the close-ups of Andrei Mironov's jumps (jump from the second floor to the runway), Ninetto Davoli, and Alighiero Noskeze (driving in an inverted car) are shot.

Actors and roles "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia", a short story of a comedy

Every moment of Ryazanov's comedy is filled with an active action and all new events. In the film "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia" the actors and the film crew did everything to keep the screen from looking away.

This story begins with the fact that an elderly emigrant from Russia dies in Rome. On her deathbed in the hospital she opens Olga (to her granddaughter in the performance of A. Santilli) the truth about the buried treasure in St. Petersburg. This expensive secret, in addition to Olga, was heard by everyone who was present in the ward of the dying.

What was Olga's surprise when, during a flight to Russia on an airplane, she meets all the witnesses of her grandmother's death: starting with the mafia (T. Cimarosa), who had a pregnant wife on the next couch, and ending with the old lady's doctor (L. Ballista). Already in the cabin of the plane, the treasure hunters begin to discuss animatedly how they share other people's money. Soon, from words, they move on to action: competitors begin to maim and quietly eliminate each other. And in Russia, they are waiting for another participant of this crazy chase for the treasure - St. Petersburg policeman Vasilyev (A. Mironov) disguised as a guide.

If the first feature of Ryazanov's comedy is a twisted plot, then the second one is an international cast. In the movie "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia" the actors of the USSR play Russian characters, and Italians - Italian. The exception is only Evgeni Evstigneev, who happened to play the Italian lame.

The first colorful comedy pair was composed of Italian artists A. Noskez and N. Davoli. Giuseppe and Antonio play in the movie ambulance workers, who brought the dying Russian to the hospital. Antonio behaves pompously and self-confidently, Giuseppe, on the contrary, is a bit stupid and used to telling the truth, as his mother taught him.

At the airport, this couple meets the hero Andrei Mironov, designed to expose treasure hunters. Another heroine is Olga, whose role was played by Italian Antonia Santilli.

Performers of secondary roles

The actors of the film "The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia" are Olga Aroseva with Evgeni Evstigneev, Tano Cimarosa.

Evstigneev ("Beware of the car") appeared in the frame in the image of a lame Italian who, despite his injury, is also trying to fight for treasures. Olga Aroseva ("The Adventures of the Magician") played the hospitable mother of the operative Vasiliev. And the Italian Cimarosa embodied on the screen the image of the formidable Rosario Agro - an experienced and cruel mafia.
