Brick from the "Meeting Place can not be changed"



When Stanislav Govorukhin proposed the role of pickpocket Kostya Saprykin in the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” to Stanislav Sadalsky, he, at first, refused. He really wanted to play the main role - Sharapova. But Govorukhin said that he certainly can take part in the tests, but he has no chance.


What is needed for the role of Sharapov is an actor with "the face of a Komsomol member who is printed in newspapers" (director Sharapov himself saw Sergei Ivanov - the Grasshopper from "Only" old men "go into battle). And in the casting on Sharapova Sadalsky it was really hard - V. Konkin , A. Abdulov, S. Nikonenko, E. Leonov-Gladyshev, Y. Shlykov, A. Kurepov, I. Bortnik and a whole galaxy of young actors.Here are some of the photo tests for the role of Sharapov (for more details in the post of Proof tests for Zheglova and Sharapova in "The meeting place can not be changed")



But back to Saprykin. This character had a real prototype - the authoritative pickpocket Alexander Prokofiev, named Shore. After the release of the film, according to Sadalsky, Shor sent him a box of French brandy. For persuasiveness and similarity.



Episodes involving Sadalsky filmed in different places. The scene in the police station - in the pavilions of the Odessa Film Studio. But the moment of taking the Brick "red-handed" in the tram and escorting it to the station - in Moscow, and much later. The Moscow summer of 1945, which was shown in the film, turned into cold autumn weather. See how the film crew is dressed.



Stanislav Sadalsky, whose hero was dressed in the summer fashion of those years, while running convoy scenes, Vysotsky, dressed slightly, but warmer, even lent his scarf to warm up a bit before shooting the episode itself.



Well, about his contribution to the famous diction of Saprykin, I think it is not necessary to tell - probably everyone already knows who invented the lisp of Brick, which was not in the book. Although in some interviews, Vladimir Konkin says that the pickpocket’s speech impediment appeared with his presentation.



Stanislav Yuryevich said more than once in various interviews and in his journal that he hates the role of Brick. Somewhere it even flashed that he had never seen "The meeting place can not be changed" entirely. That never looked their scenes completely. Many directors began to look at him through the prism of this role (as on Demyanenko after Shurik). But it should be noted that the viewer fell in love with him as an actor, probably after this, small but very memorable role.



Happy birthday Stanislav Yuryevich !!!
