Vladimir Petrovich Weinstock was born on March 11 (February 28) in 1908 in St. Petersburg. In 1924-1927 he studied at the Leningrad Institute of Screen Arts, then worked as a screenwriter and director at various studios of the country. Weinstock began directing at the Belgoskino film studio as a director of documentary film essays. In 1930-1932, the director put three feature films, but he gained fame only in 1936, after the release of the film adaptation of the novel by J. Verne “Children of Captain Grant”. The film was remembered by the audience for its entertainment and fascinatingness, as well as bright acting works and music by Isaac Dunaevsky. Great audience success, despite the departure, as in the previous work, from the literary source, enjoyed the next adventure film Weinstock “Treasure Island”, released in 1937. After the Great Patriotic War, Vladimir Weinstock worked fruitfully as a screenwriter and writer. Under the pseudonym V.Vladimirov participated in the creation of scripts for such films as “Dead Season” (1968) by Savva Kulish, “Mission in Kabul” (1970) by Leonid Kvinikhidze, “Twenty-six Days in the Life of Dostoevsky” (1980) by Alexander Zarha. He again turned to directing in 1973, filming (according to his script) the adventure novel by T. Main Reed “The Headless Rider”. This film adaptation, as well as the film Weinstock "Armed and very dangerous", were among the leaders of the Soviet box office. Vladimir Weinstock died on October 18, 1978 in Moscow.
