User Reviews

The lion was killed on the stage

The lion didn't cooperate with the team, so by the order of the director he was shot in ear. That's how the scene of "sleeping lion on the handbarrow" was made. The lion in the scene is not sleeping, but killed. He was the property of Odessa' zoo. Actress Nazarova couldn't work for a few days crying refusing to continue but money made her agree. The killer was a fire-worker of the team. He took 2 full glasses of vodka and after the deed everybody was laughing and smiling. The lion didn't eat the sleeping pills and was doomed. The name was Vasya, and he was a lion-actor for many films. The name of director Fetin must be erased from history as a name in good standing.
