Илья Муромец

The first Soviet wide-screen film.

The film has participated 106000 soldiers-extras and 11,000 horses.

The film was restored at "Mosfilm" in 2001, that's why became even more spectacular and colorful. Over 50 years have passed since the creation of the painting, the negative wore out and became worthless, many frames were spoiled so much that could not be restored, had to do the bills, which in turn led to the shift of the phonogram. Now the sound recorded in the Dolby Surround system and meets international standards.

On the set of "Ilya Muromets" with Boris Fedorovich, a funny thing happened. Onto the set came the big policeman stared for a long time Andreyeva, then shook his head and said, "No, not that... Weak. And Muromets play. I, my brother, perhaps, the healthier you'll be..." Andreev silently stood up, grabbed the policeman across the trunk and swung and cast into the sea. The next day the local newspaper published a satirical article about wanton the artist who "drowns in a sea of police". Andreev read the libel, got really angry and gave a vow never to appear in Yalta. The words of his it ain't broke, and many years later an old man arrived with a tourist ship in Yalta, on the coast wouldn't come off.

The film was a success at the American box office. It rewired Roger Corman. There was a movie called "the Sword and the dragon" (Sword and dragon).
