The motif of love became central in the film. It is on it that the events about which the film "Teheran-43" narrates are based. Actors N. Belokhvostikov, I. Kostolevsky played the main roles, namely the Soviet intelligence officer and interpreter from the Persian language. The picture is still historical, that is, it narrates about the events that once occurred. Briefly review the content of the film.

Plot

Tehran is preparing a meeting of the heads of the three states. However, on instructions from the Hitlerite leadership, a group of terrorists penetrate the city. She is headed by Agent Scherner. The Soviet intelligence officer, whose role is played by Igor Kostolevsky, is bound to ensure the security of the upcoming negotiations. However, a complex terrorist operation is not carried out. The organizers of the assassination of Shermer and his assistant Max Richard are able to escape retribution.

Years pass by. The interest in this event is renewed, because the film, which was considered lost, is in the hands of one of the characters in the film, namely Max Richard. The offender decides to sell this media from an auction. The hero of Kostolevsky in the meantime does not sleep. The Soviet intelligence officer also appears at the auction. The end of this story is tragic. As a result of the attempt, Marie, the heroine, played by Belokhvostikova, dies.

The success of the picture

Participation of the stars of French cinema aroused special interest of the Soviet audience for this film. Film received a prize at the Moscow festival, as well as many other awards. It was positively received in France.

Cast

3 stars of the international level were played in the film "Teheran-43". Actors Alain Delon, Kurd Jurgens, Claude Jade accepted the invitation of the director Vladimir Naumov, which, as already mentioned, contributed to the growth of popularity among domestic audiences. Over one hundred million tickets were sold.

It is worth noting that not only the participation of foreign stars is the success of the film "Teheran-43". Actors A. Dzhigarkhanyan and A. Filozov created images of scoundrels extremely talented. Without the participation of these masters of acting, the film might soon have lost its initial interest.

History of creation

The film was shot not in Tehran, but in one of the Moscow pavilions, also in some cities in Europe and the Soviet Union. What formed the basis of the film? Real events or fiction?

There is information that confirms that the Germans really intended to conduct a rather complex operation in Tehran, the purpose of which was to eliminate the "Big Three". But this enterprise was blocked by representatives of Soviet intelligence. Thus, it can be argued that the film "Teheran-43" is based on real events.

Most of the filming took place in the capital of Azerbaijan. The ancient buildings, which have external similarities with the Tehran buildings, served as a suitable background for the events described in the picture.

Actress Natalia Belokhvostikova played three roles in the film, namely: the translator Marie, her daughter and mother. In the film there are episodes that convey the memories of the main character. The role of Marie at an early age in these scenes played daughter Belokhvostikova.

Alain Delon

The attraction of the star of French cinema seemed to be a difficult task from a commercial point of view. However, the filmmakers managed to solve it. Alain Delon by that time had finished filming in one of the famous French films. He had a significant break in his work. So he agreed to the role of an inspector in Fosh. Why did he decide to take part in the filming of a Soviet film? After all, the role of the Interpol employee was rather small? Most likely, the French actor took this decision on the basis of personal considerations. The news that Delon agreed to star in the Soviet film caused a stir in the French press.

Shooting in France

Separate scenes were filmed in the homeland of Alain Delon. Some of them - even on the Champs Elysees. On the day of filming in the French capital were heavy rains. And so in the center of the city there were not so many passers-by. But suddenly the weather changed. Rain stopped. Around Alain Delon instantly formed a crowd of fans. It was impossible to start work. Later, the actor told V. Naumov: "You will have to change the location of the shooting ... Or an actor."

Love story

And, finally, a few words to say about the main characters of the film. The film "Teheran-43" tells not only about important historical events. Central to it was the love story. In many foreign films on terrorism, violence and crime, this topic is absent. Such pictures have, as a rule, a brutal shade. Human life is a small piece of wood in the frightening struggle of the dark forces. The plot of the Soviet film is built differently. Love is dying under the onslaught of the unmerciful to violent events. But after all, it was ... The film "Teheran -43" still arouses interest of spectators today, because in it there is not only an exciting story, but also a heartfelt love story.
