Mikhail Schweitzer, when he decided to shoot The Golden Calf, did not doubt who should play Ostap Bender and Shura Balaganov in his film. Sergey Yursky and Leonid Kuravlev were shot in his previous film "Time, go ahead!". But Hoadsov disagreed with him and insisted on samples
It is said that Schweitzer, when he did the tests in order not to injure the actors, did not say anything about their competitors for the role. Every actor thought he was the only one and the role was written for him
Of all the actors who tried on Balaganov, only Vyacheslav Innocent could press Kuravlev away. His son, Lieutenant Schmidt, was very charming.
But when Zinovy Gerdt took the role of Panikovsky, all doubts disappeared - Kuravlyov in a pair with Gerdt looked just perfect
