All this time, the public was wrong.
The Soviet comedy “Gentlemen of Fortune” appeared on the screens in 1971. Fans have always believed that it was George Danelia who was responsible for the cult tape. But in fact the film was made by a completely different person.
Work on the project began in 1970, and the premiere took place in the Moscow cinema “Russia”. All the glory went to George Danelia, as he represented comedy as the artistic director.
In reality, the film was shot by a different director. It was Alexander Sery, who had previously spent four years in prison. He came up with the script for the film and also came up with the idea of adding various slang expressions.
Gray was unable to attend the premiere of “Gentlemen of Fortune” because he was hospitalized due to a serious illness. As a result, all laurels went to Danelia, who just helped on the set. The portal “Culturology” tells about it.
