Agent 007 is unrecognizable in this role.
It is now generally accepted that only domestic celebrities acted with directors in the USSR. It’s not surprising: Soviet cinema had enough of its own artists. However, this opinion is wrong.
Even before Eldar Ryazanov and “The Adventures of Italians in Russia,” the joint Allied-Italian film “The Red Tent” was released. One of the main roles in it was played by the magnificent Sean Connery.
The star of the James Bond films took part in Mikhail Kalatozov’s project at the peak of his fame – the film was released in 1969, when the actor’s name was already thundering around the world. The story of the rescue of Italian aeronauts from the Arctic turned out to be large-scale.
The Hollywood actor flew to the USSR for filming. According to the plot, Sean Connery was supposed to play the Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen, who was well over 50. The man had to be heavily made up to make him look older.
The “Red Tent” was highly praised around the world. She was even nominated for a Golden Globe, but the award went to another film.
