Banionis still making movies?

216.158.42.31

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?
