George Yungvald-Khil’kevich was hospitalized on 3 November. His condition is very serious, he was placed in intensive care surgical unit Botkin Hospital; Later it became known that the doctors keep 81-year-old director in medication dream, and he breathes with the help of a ventilator.
The cause of death Yungvald-Khilkevich become heart failure, reports TASS quoted the wife of the director. She said that the issue of farewell and funeral will be solved within a day.
According to the first formation of George Yungvald-Khil’kevich – the architect, the second – a theater artist; as a native of Tashkent was trying to find his way in life. Theatre, by his own admission, he liked the fact that after the performances were sets and costumes by him as an artist. It was in the 60s, he worked in Tashkent theaters, but soon found out that the film – it is still something else.
In 1966, Jungvald-Khil’kevich graduated from the Higher Courses for Scriptwriters and directors and sent Odessa, the local studio where they filmed their debut film – a comedy “Formula of the rainbow,” in which he played George Vitsin, Frunzik Mkrtchyan, Savely Kramarov and Natalya Varley, for which it was the first movie role. This picture is about the robot – twin a real person in rolling out only after 20 years, although similar in the story “His name was Robert” and “The Adventures of Electronics” a success.
But the young director absenteeism film’s release did not retirement. He was entrusted to take the revolutionary adventure of the Bolsheviks before the revolution in Tsarist Russia imported weapons under the guise of theatrical props. The shooting took place is difficult, change the script Jungvald-Khil’kevich long defended his choice for the leading role actor – and eventually came out “Dangerous Tour” with Vladimir Vysotsky, brought choreographer first fame.
know this, however, it was peculiar. The ideologists of the Communist Party had not been able to forgive him for any transformation history of the party in some vaudeville or Vysotsky in the frame.
«began the horror of my biography under the communists – he recalled in an interview, . – I have not mentioned anywhere else, even published an article in which the last words were covering my next film. They wrote: “not very young director,” or, on the contrary, “too young.” But my name could not mention even with the sign “minus».
But the ban on the profession is not reached again. In the same year came adventure “Attention, Tsunami!”, For which Vysotsky wrote two songs, two years – a war film based on the novel by Vasily Countryman “Audacity” children’s film “Petka in space” and the fairy tale “shoes with gold buckles” . Each film-Jungvald Khil’kevich increasingly becoming the musical director is the movie.
And the high point of this movement was published in 1977, the musical adaptation of the novel by Alexandre Dumas’ d’Artagnan and Three Musketeers ».
In this TV movie has a wonderful galaxy of actors. Musketeers played Mikhail Boyarsky, Benjamin Smekhov Valentin Smirnitskiy Starygin and Igor, in the role of King Louis shone Oleg Tabakov, and Queen Anne – Alisa Freundlich. Characters of singing – and the songs written by the composer Maxim Dunayevsky, after some time, sang the whole country.
And D’Artagnan – a few years before such a transformation Sherlock Holmes , played by Vasily Livanov – suddenly became a Russian folk hero.
And yet this poor Gascon nobleman who conquered Paris, the residents of the former Soviet Union is associated exclusively with the image, which is embodied on the screen Boyarsky.
Surprisingly, the leading musical director of the Soviet cinema did not become a national actor. It did not seem to notice until the disintegration of the country – and only in 1990, when he was 55 years old, he received the title of “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation”; five years later he marked it and Ukraine, remembering that the Odessa film studio, he gave more than 25 years.
But the director seems to be a lack of rewards paid no attention.
He did what he could best – shooting the music in the movie. “Oh, vaudeville, vaudeville …”, for which Joan sang Christmas “Season of Wonders” with Boyarsky and Alla Pugacheva, “Over the Rainbow,” made a star Vladimir Presnyakov junior. Another adaptation of Dumas – “Prisoner of If Castle” with songs by Alexander Gradsky.
In 1990, Jungvald-Khil’kevich moved to Moscow and returned to his second specialty – worked as an artist and the chief director at the Theater Kuklacheva cats. Making movies, he certainly has not stopped – went three sequels “Musketeers” has, however, not trapped in time, but no less musical.
His work movie he called music, which was accompanied by pictures.
«The sounds can express everything. And then movies that music is one of the foundations of drama, not age, “- he said. Indeed, not age – and remain in the memory of viewers. Like their creators.
