Comedy "Zigzag of Fortune": actors, roles, short story

In the Soviet film "Zigzag of Fortune" actors demonstrate a typical situation, which often happens among the townsfolk: as soon as money appears somewhere, an unthinkable and sometimes fierce division begins. Where did the big hero come from? And through what tests will he have to go through to get it?

The creators of the film and a short story

The film "Zigzag of Fortune" was staged by the legendary Soviet director Eldar Ryazanov. The script for the comedy he wrote in collaboration with Emil Braginsky in 1967. By this time the master had already had such works as "The Hussar Ballad", "Carnival Night", "The Girl Without an Address" and "The Complaints Book". A worthy ribbon can be called "Zigzag luck".

Actors in the project were selected the first magnitude. The narrative is conducted in a light humorous form with elements of satire, which is very characteristic of Ryazanov's early tapes. The whole conflict of the plot is that the employees of the Sovremennik studio want to divide money that does not belong to them. Volodya Oreshkina's colleagues are clinging to the fact that the protagonist bought a winning bond for money from the general cash fund (which he, incidentally, simply lent). They use this argument to force Oreshkin to give them a win.

But since the Soviet picture, the director's final had to be made childishly naive: everyone repented of the deed, and the money was still returned to their true owner, albeit in a curtailed volume.

Photographer Vladimir Oreshkin works in a photo studio, meets a beautiful girl Olya and dreams of becoming a real photographer. But for the time being, Volodya does not have everything in the financial plan, so he often takes money at the mutual aid fund. Once Oreshkin acquires a loan for this money on a loan, and that's where all this mess begins, on which the plot of the picture "Zigzag of Fortune" is built.

The actors of the film are well known to any viewer. Eugene Leonova, too, with no one will be confused: everyone remembers his brilliant "Associate Professor" of "Gentlemen of Fortune." However, the artist noted in Soviet cinema not only this role. In the 61-m he played a "lime" tamer in the "Striped Flight". In the 64th he embodied on the screens the image of Yakov Shibalok in the drama The Don's Tale. And in the 67th they saw Leonov in the guise of the cowardly King Eric XXIX from the fairy tale "The Snow Queen".
