The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed is a 1979 Soviet five-part television-film directed by Stanislav Govorukhin and starring singer-songwriter Vladimir Vysotsky in one of his final screen appearances alongside actor Vladimir Konkin. The script, written by Arkady and Georgy Vayner, is based on the plot of their novel The Era of Mercy.

Production

Meeting Place was based on the novel The Era of Mercy, written by Arkady and Georgy Vayner in 1975. The plot is loosely based on true events but has almost nothing to do with the deeds of the real Black Cat gang. The real members of this gang — mostly teenagers — were detained in the late 1940s after an unsuccessful apartment burglary.

There are different versions associated with the idea of the film adaptation of The Era of Mercy. According to Arkady Vayner's memoirs, after the release of the book, he and his brother gave several copies to close friends. Among them was Vladimir Vysotsky. After reading the novel, Vysotsky told the Vayners that it was a ready-made basis for a future film in which he would like to stake out the role of Zheglov for himself.

After The Era of Mercy was included in the Odessa Film Studio's plan, the search for a director began. Initially, the script-editorial board planned to involve Villen Novak; later, Aleksey Batalov was considered as a candidate. However, neither were able to direct due to their busy schedules on other films. Vysotsky proposed Govorukhin for the position of director.

Work on the script took place in Peredelkino. From time to time, Vysotsky would visit, offering his own ideas on the development of certain episodes; it was he who suggested a new dramatic move - to place an enlarged photograph of Varvara Sinichkina on the storeroom door. The script image of Zheglov was created taking into account Vysotsky's nature and type.

The Vayner brothers' script, approved by the Odessa Film Studio in June 1977 and then sent to Soviet Central Television for review, was more of a literary than a dramatic work. As Galina Lazareva, editor of the Odessa Film Studio, recalled, its volume and plot lines did not fit into the parameters of film production.
