Hi Victor,
And IIRC you haven't seen "Adventures of prince Florisel" yet!
It is a cryin' shame. A milkway of stars there... Dal', Banionis,
Avilov just to name a few. Great playing, great scenes and such.
"Ohh... kletchatyj!"
relaxing after watching "The Serpent Egg" last night,
regards, gnat

How old is he by now? Seventy, perhaps?Dal' was in front of me and my friend Sasha, as we stood there by the money window waiting to get our 5 rubles ea for day's work at - you must remember that movie - "Ugol Padeniya" - it was based on Vsevolod Kochetov's book, White Guard, Rodzyanko and others, the moral crash of the Tzarist officers. We were dressed as White Army soldiers, and with old Mosin rifles robbed the palace. It was done by Lenfilm and the location was one of the beautiful little palces that line up either Fontanka or other river in Peter - a beautiful little palace, gorgeous, us in soldier boots running around with crates on the parquet floors, packing the stolen from the Proletariat treasures, as the two officers talk by the tall - to the ceiling - mirror, as one of them shaves. Dal', dressed like a bum, his fur hat with ears hanging down, like Ded Mazay, his dublenka torn, received a thick was of cash, and we went home dry - something was not done right on the form and we never got our five rubles each. How does he look today - probably too old for his age, all that drinking...?
Nice to hear from you. Cold there yet?
Hi Victor,
Banionis made some good movies in 90s if memory serves.But Dal'... he died somewhere in the beginning of 80s.
Yep. That Florisel is an old movie. And yes, it's available.
At least in Moscow, lots of rental salons have it. Best
of the old Soviet films remain popular here, successfully
competing with current production.
So, you tried to make some money in "massovka"... I was
more successful in that kind of "art". Did it in... hmmm...
maybe it was the end of 80s. Another film like yours,
showing that rotten Tsarist regime and revolution and such.
Haven't seen any stars, but got my money at least.
As for weather, I dunno if it will look like cold for you.
Near 0 Celsius last few days, the first (or it was second?)
snow is gone, it rains sometimes. Anyway the weather is bad,
no matter wheteher it's cold or no.
regards, gnat
