The author came up with an original move.
After the success of Beware of the Car, Eldar Ryazanov continued to collaborate with Emil Braginsky and together they wrote an interesting script based on a true story for the future film. However, in the Soviet Union there was an unspoken rule – it was necessary to shoot only according to a published work, an unknown script was not suitable for working on a film.
I had to go for the trick. The authors wrote a story based on the story of a union worker who took general money from the cash register, bought bonds with it, returned it and published it in a magazine.
After presenting management with a story in the magazine, the authors were given the go-ahead to make the comedy Zigzag of Fortune, Mir24 recalls.
