Production

The idea of the film appeared to Leonid Kvinikhidze immediately after the filming of the film "Failure of Engineer Garin". Initially, Oleg Borisov was considered for the main role, but he needed urgent treatment, and Andrei Mironov received the role (Lyudmila Gurchenko later recalled: "We gathered to frame the brilliant Andrew, and we did it").

The film became the first notable role for Mikhail Boyarsky: "The tenacious eye of the directors figured me out as a certain artist "young, like an Italian." I was hairy, somewhat like an Italian, and in general I didn't spoil the picture." The actor spoke highly of Alisa Freindlich, who helped him with valuable advices: "Behind her fan, you could hide any aspiring artist".

There was a relaxed atmosphere on the set: the actors acted out each other, indulged in small playful escapades. Kvinikhidze, who appreciated improvisations, ordered not to turn off the camera, no matter what happened. As a result, the film included a lot of episodes that were not in the script — for example, scenes when a wig falls off the Mikhail Kozakov's character during a duel, or when Mironov kisses Freindlich in the presence of Boyarsky.

Filming was conducted in Tartu and in St. Petersburg.
