About the film distribution

In 1959, Ludvík Aškenazy wrote a theatre drama The Guest at Night, which was then introduced by the Theatre of Petr Bezruč in Ostrava under the title The Night-Time Guest. In 1960, Aškenazy reworked the drama for the Central Theatre of the Czechoslovak Army [Ústřední divadlo Československé armády]; later the Vinohrady Theatre [Vinohradské divadlo] in Prague and entitled it The Guest. The author at the same time collaborated with Otakar Vávra on the script entitled, again, The Guest at Night.
