The outstanding director Georgy Danelia left behind a number of unfading masterpieces of cinema, beloved by millions of viewers to this day. Infinitely talented, he was a perfectionist in his work; he created his paintings long and carefully, achieving an impeccable result. Among not only domestic, but also among recognized world-class paintings, it is difficult to find works that are equally perfect in all respects. No less interesting is the life of Danelia - a noted wit, a mischievous reveler and a person passionately devoted to her work, without which she simply could not exist. The presented book attempts to cover the life and work of Georgy Nikolaevich Danelia - widely known not only as a director, but also as a writer - without, if possible, repeating what he said about himself in his memoirs. Biography written by Evgeny Novitsky, author of the life stories of Leonid Gaidai and Eldar Ryazanov, can be considered the final part of the trilogy about the great Soviet-Russian film directors and comedians.
