About the film distribution

The film was screened in the cinema of Young (kino Mladých) on 30 November 1948 to the cultural officers of the ROH. After sharp protests from this working-class audience and a press campaign against the release of the film, further exploitation was banned by order of the Minister of Information Václav Kopecký. The film did not premiere in cinemas until five years later in October 1953.
