Yeah I am almost as big a fan of Vysotsky as Lampada.
He is so talented. I just watched a quite good, old TV series, just because I had read that he had a leading role.
He was brilliiant. Am i being silly or is he a great actor as well as a bard / musician?
The series was called: "Место встречи изменить нельзя" (Impossible to change the meeting place") It was fiilmed in the seventies or early eighties, but is about events taking place just after the conclusion of WW2.
Vysotsky is playing a hardened criminal investigator who is trying to crach a ruthless gang that is responsible for some murders.
I think it was a great portrayal of a police investigator and it was an interesting insight into that particular time in history; when people across Europe were returning to their cities after the war.
No singing by Vysotsky though.
Does anyone know whether he acted in any more films?
