Description
The classic Soviet detective novel by the brothers Vainer about the operational officers of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department (MUR) and their fight with criminal elements needs no introduction. This legendary book (1975) became an event in the writers’ lives, and the TV film made from it (1979) won the love of the entire nation.
Success was ensured not only by the excellent cast and talented directing, but also by the literary foundation. As Vladimir Vysotsky said about the novel—immensely and unforgettable on screen with the image of Captain Zheglov—it isn’t just a detective story, but real literature with its own dramaturgy: «There two psychologies collide—and you can’t tear yourself away».
A dynamic plot, the postwar Moscow atmosphere conveyed truthfully, and colorful characters whose lines became part of dictionaries of catchphrases… And the theme of the ethical clash between Zheglov and Sharapov—the partners who are so unlike each other—has remained relevant even today.
