The film has dazzling ensemble of actors and actresses in it. To start
with, as the film was made in the 50-s, the era of beauties on the
screen, it stars Alla Larionova, a ravishing beauty with a cascade of
golden hair, Klara Luchko, Vadim Medvedev. But though just to see such
beautiful people is a feast for the eye, their participation is not the
greatest attraction of the film. Yanshin, Vitsin and Merkuryev - they
are the marvellous trio that is absolutely unforgettable. If they had
never played another part in all their lives, after playing in this film
they would have become immortal as actors. Their performance is witty,
boysterous, playful. In one word, I will always see the three characters
in my mind's eye the way they were played by the three great actors.
The film crew managed to convey that playful irreality of Shakespeare
when life is stranger than fiction, when everything is not what it
seems.
