The plot of the film unfolds in England, and a special location was required for the shooting — a river with locks. A suitable place was searched for a long time and eventually found in the Kaliningrad region, on the border with Lithuania, in the city of Sovetsk, formerly known as Tilsit. The local Neman River, in the eyes of the cameraman, perfectly conveyed the atmosphere of the foggy Thames. The quiet and cozy town captivated the film crew with its atmosphere.

Filming Locations:

Street near the house

In the movie

The scene where Our heroes set off. In their hands are bags, various equipment, and of course, the dog! Where would they be without their faithful friend. The weather favors the journey, and the three heroes (or rather four) are in a great mood and looking forward to adventures.

In reality

The scene was filmed On Pobedy Street in the Kaliningrad city of Neman. This location became one of the London streets in Naum Birman's famous comedy. In the frame, we can see houses No. 51 and 53, which created the image of London.

Embankment

In the movie

The scene where The company loads things into the boat and prepares to set sail. An unexpected circumstance – the dog brings along his girlfriend, a charming fluffy lady with a bow. A woman on board is a bad omen, so she is left on shore.

In reality

The scene was filmed On the staircase leading to the embankment of the city of Sovetsk. Also visible in the frame is part of the Queen Louise Bridge, which is faced with red brick. This architectural element became an expressive detail, emphasizing the atmosphere of an ancient European city.

Lock

In the movie

The scene where The heroes' journey comes to an end. In their words, 'We were led by love itself.' Joyful, satisfied with life and the adventures on the water, they sing a song to the sound of applause from people on the shore. They are also surrounded by fellow boaters who share a love for water trips.

In reality

The scene was filmed At the fifth lock of the Pregolya River, which at that time functioned flawlessly, ensuring the movement of vessels along the main water artery of the Kaliningrad region. This structure has impressive dimensions: its length reaches 45 meters, and its width is 7.5 meters.
