Ilf and Petrov
However, after his triumphant role of “Byvaly” Morgunov was not much into filming. His best works included those in films "Three Fat Men" (Tri tolstyaka) (1966), "Ilf and Petrov Went by Tram" (Ekhali v tramvaye Ilf i Petrov) (1972). There were also other, less noteworthy roles. Morgunov also tried his wings as a film director. As early as 1962, he directed the comedy "When the Cossacks Weep" (Kogda Kazaki plachut) under the patronage of the illustrious writer Michail Sholokhov. However, the film remained his only director’s work.
