Was there erotic in the movie "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears"



It is said that the State Commission, when the film "Moscow does not believe in tears," demanded that the director Vladimir Menshov cut out several scenes of erotic content. So it or not, can tell only the creators of the film and the participants of the filming process


It should be noted that if you look at the transcript of the meeting of the artistic council, then in the report of the director of Mosfilm Nikolai Sizov, you can find this phrase: "Some moments in the picture I was simply amazed ... For example, a love scene with Tabakov, if you show it in its original form , as it was in the beginning, you would be horrified! It's just obscene !. The same goes for the scenes of seducing the heroine in the apartment of the professor in the first series of "



That is, if you believe the official document, the two scenes with Alentovoy were quite frank, and they were reduced.

This is confirmed and directed by Vladimir Menshov. Judging by his stories, quite an innocent scene of seduction Katerina Rodion, forced to noticeably reduce, leaving only a timid "Well Rudik ... do not ..."

It was much more frank to have a scene with Tabakov. Menshov said that this scene was important to him. He had to show that Katerina was already a fully formed woman who had already given birth to a child. Menchov wanted to show in this scene, no, not love, but passion. Alentova and Tabakov in the frame undressed to the underwear. But the artistic council forced this scene to be cut, leaving only a kiss and then, after a bell at the door, Katerina in her lower shirt

And Vera Alentova remembered in one of the interviews that the scene in which her heroine takes a shower at the beginning of the second series was longer. But Irina Muraveva remembered about another scene, when the director forced to undress all three main characters. The girls under the shower had to wash the laundry. "I was the last one shouting that I would not undress to the waist." Already Vera stood, already Raya was standing, and they were waiting for me, these were the most terrible shootings in my life! "

But this scene was cut out not by the Council of People's Deputies. She did not get into the film because of the marriage in the film. Although it is not known, she would have passed censorship, if everything was shot successfully
