It was funded by Czechoslovakia's central authorities (as were all films under the Communist regime), produced at the Barrandov Film Studio in Prague, and filmed with a Slovak cast on location at the town of Sabinov in north-eastern Slovakia and on the Barrandov sound stage.
Film tersebut didanai oleh otoritas pusat Cekoslowakia (serta seluruh film di bawah kepemimpinan Partai Komunis lokal), yang diproduksi di Studio Film Barrandov di Praha, dan difilmkan dengan seorang pemeran Slowakia di kota Sabinov di timur laut Slowakia dan di atas panggung suara Barrandov.
