In almost all of Georgy Danelia's films, the actor Rene Hobua is listed in the credits, although he never starred in them. Georgiy Danelia and Rezo Gabriadze met the builder Rene in the late 1960s, when they lived in a hotel in Tbilisi and together wrote the script for the film “Don’t Cry!” For several days in a row, they told him different versions of the script to find out “the opinion of a simple viewer,” until Rene asked to be released. It turned out that he did not know Russian well, but praised the script out of politeness. In gratitude, his name was placed in the credits.
