Pyryev Ivan director biography

The latest news is the biography of Ivan Pyryeva is known to absolutely all lovers of Soviet films. He went from a peasant street child to a director, whose name became known far beyond the borders of the USSR. Colleagues knew Ivan Alexandrovich as the “best swear by Soviet cinema”, who more than once received a penalty for rude handling with colleagues on the set.

And the audience loved his comedies, although many in the family circle noted that the main characters - funny and tireless workers - have nothing to do with real life. Parents were peasants. The boy was only three years old when his father was killed in a fight. Therefore, in early childhood, Pyryev remained in the care of Osip Komogorov’s grandfather and already at the age of eight, he began to work as a shepherd.

Mom, who immediately after the death of her husband went to work, he saw the next time only when he received primary education at a parish school. Mother took Summer Ivan with her to the small town of Mariinsk. There she already had a new husband, a fruit merchant named Amirov. The teenager worked part -time in shops, sold newspapers and cigarettes on trains. He did not find a special language with his stepfather, since he often drank excess and raised his hand to the stepson.

Tired of the beatings, Ivan grabbed the ax, Amirov was afraid and ran to complain to the police. The future director decided that it was better for him to leave his family. Having washed down on the street, Summer Ivan got into the military echelon and went to the front. In the First World War, he distinguished himself with great courage in intelligence, was awarded the St.

George Crosses of the 3rd and 4th degrees. During the civil war, the young man went over to the side of the Red Army. He began as an ordinary, then he became a political instructor and agitator, was engaged in the Likbez. Life abandoned Pyryev in Yekaterinburg, where, without stopping working, he began to visit the theater studio and even performed in a professional troupe under the Altai pseudonym.

The level of skill of these actors was so struck by the young man that he immediately went to Moscow to learn this art. In the capital, Ivan served in the 1st Working Theater of the Proletcult, graduated from the acting, and in parallel, the directorial branch of the State Experimental Theater Workshop of Vsevolod Meyerhold and plunged into cinematographic activities.

During his studies, Pyryev debuted films on the screen in the short film "Diary of Glumov". But he was more interesting to lead the shooting, therefore, having received an education, he worked as an assistant for directors Yuri Tarich and Evgeny Ivanov-Barkov, and also wrote scripts for films. Five directors abandoned the script, and the Voskino Directorate from despair offered the setting of Pyryeva, who grabbed the chance.

The work was favorably noted by critics, it was even mentioned in the magazine “Soviet screen”. The next tape - the political drama "State official" - became a classic of Soviet cinema. It is noteworthy that its first version of the year in the format of the satirical comedy turned out to be too harsh and was prohibited for showing, the director and family even had to leave Moscow.

But the Minister of Culture Anatoly Lunacharsky stood up for the genre, and soon the leadership of Soyzkino suggested Pyryev to make a new option, which the audience saw. In M, Ivan Alexandrovich began to work on the new painting “The Last Village”, but he was fired from the film studio for the creation of films “not corresponding to the interests of the state”. The director worked for some time in Yerevan, but then he returned to the capital and agreed to make a ordered anti-capitalist drama-grotesk “The Conveyor of Death”, which was liked by both Goskino and the audience.

The next work, the “party ticket”, was the reason for the dismissal of Pyryev from Mosfilm. After his answer, the plot completely changed, but the tape about how the heroine revealed in her husband a saboteur, unexpectedly liked the party nomenclature at an unofficial show in the sanatorium of the Central Committee of the All -Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks b.

Joseph Stalin requested the picture, after which the film recognized as politically correct and relevant was a large circulation and brought it to the creator all -Union fame. After dismissal, Ivan Alexandrovich went to the Kyiv film studio. It was there that he found himself in the genre of musical comedy, thanks to which he became the legendary director. Interestingly, around the comedy “Rich Bride”, which became the first in a series of Pyryev’s most popular paintings, a serious scandal erupted.

Due to the inaccuracies in the show of Ukrainian folklore, local filmmakers began a real war against the metropolitan director. Since Moscow actors Marina Ladynina and Fedor Kurikhin were involved in the main roles, and mainly Ukrainian artists turned out to be secondary, the shooting was actually sabotted, in the media, and then at the level of the Ukrainian film committee of Pyryev, they accused of weakening the local collective farmers and the perversion of the peasant life of Ukraine.

The comedy fell on the shelf, and perhaps Pyryev’s films would no longer see the light, and his career would end there, but in the year the “rich bride” personally watched Stalin and ordered to urgently release it on the screens.The success was stunning, Ivan Alexandrovich received the Order of Lenin and returned to Mosfilm, where one after another he released musical romantic paintings with his wife Marina Ladynina in the main roles.

The director’s influence reached such a level that he had already argued with the leadership of the film studio: “If you cut out at least one frame, you can remove my name from the credits.” From the "tractor drivers" nevertheless cut several episodes, and Pyryev did not appear at the premiere in the cinema house, but after success at the box office he received the Stalin Prize.

It is curious that the Soviet viewer was most successfully used by the films “Kuban Cossacks” and “Pig and Shepherd”, and among foreigners the enchanting success was the musical melodrama “The Tale of the Land of Siberian”. It was purchased for the show of 86 countries, and the Japanese even considered the picture of the cult. The picture was watched by 31.9 million spectators, which provided her third place among the leaders of the film distribution of the GO.

The film was the ninth and last joint work of Ivan Alexandrovich with Ladynina. Even in M, the order of the chairman of Goskino on the ban on the directors to take off his wives, however, Ivan Alexandrovich held samples and defended the role for his wife. But in the film adaptations of the works of Fedor Dostoevsky, which he was carried away in the future, there were no roles for Marina Alekseevna.

The grandiose film “Idiot” was released in M, shot by Pyryev based on the first part of the famous novel. The picture successfully passed at the box office was watched by more than 30 million people, and also won the second prize of the All -Union Film Festival in Kyiv. But the film adaptation remained incomplete: they did not shoot the second part of the work. The last work of Ivan Alexandrovich was the adaptation of the “Karamazov brothers”, which, noteworthy, is the last work of Dostoevsky.

The director managed to shoot two episodes, but his friends already finished the final part of the picture - Mikhail Ulyanov and Kirill Lavrov, who themselves starred in it. The tape brought the first fame to Andrei Myagkov, he considered Alyosha Karamazov to his best role. A personal life of his first spouse actress Ada Voitsik saw in his youth on the screen in Yakov Protazanov’s film “Forty -First”.

Having fallen in love with the image, Ivan Alexandrovich soon won the artist itself. In M, the couple was born a son Eric, but the child did not stop Ade Ignatievna from leaving her husband when he began problems with the leadership of Mosfilm. In addition, Ivan Alexandrovich was torn between feelings for his first wife and obvious sympathy for the star of his comedies Marina Ladynina, who turned out to be the only person who supported him in difficult times.

As a result, the director arranged a personal life with Marina Alekseevna. She has been with him for more than 20 years and all these years remained invariably the main actress of his paintings. The couple had a son Andrei Ladynin, who later became the director. It is interesting that Pyryev and Ladynin officially got married only in the year, and a year later they celebrated the summer anniversary of life together.

However, soon a gap occurred in the family: Ivan Alexandrovich was carried away by a young student Lyudmila Marchenko, who was shot in “white nights”. He left his wife because of this girl, despite the almost summer difference in age. Apparently, the woman told her ex -husband a lot of unflattering words, as Ivan Alexandrovich, with the help of his authority, forbade the directors to take off Ladynin and she was no longer in demand.

However, according to her friend Ladynina, the ban is nothing more than a myth. The director did not build happiness with Lyudmila Marchenko: her relatives opposed this relationship, and the girl chose to accept the courtship of a younger applicant for her heart. The last muse of the great director was the young actress Lionella Skird. She became his legitimate wife, played in the films “The Light of the Far Star” and “The Brothers Karamazov” and until the end of Ivan Alexandrovich was very devoted to him.

The couple did not have children. Lionella Ivanovna later married the famous actor Oleg Strizhenov, with whom he still lives. Death in the last years of his life, the director worked literally for wear. Death overtook him on February 7, when he returned from the filming of the painting “Brothers Karamazov”. The cause of Pyryev’s death was another heart attack, he died in a dream.

The followed autopsy showed that the man has recently suffered six heart attacks, and all on his feet, without stopping working on the film. They buried Ivan Alexandrovich at the Novodevichy cemetery. A monument of white stone is installed on the grave, which instead of a photo decorates a bas -relief with the image of the director’s head. Memory by the name Pyryev was named the street in Moscow, and a memorial plaque was installed on the director’s house on Smolenskaya Street.

But the main tribute to this glorified person was provided in a small homeland, in the city of Kamna-on-Obi. There are also the streets of Pyryeva, and the memorial plaque, the local cinema "Zvezda" bears his name, and a bust of the great countryman is installed on the embankment of the river.
