Milka Zimková played in Štefan Uher's three previous films. The cast was composed of little known actors, several of them Czechs who were capable of giving convincing performances in Slovak as well as in its eastern regional variety, but the successful use of the local dialect also gave the distributors in the Czech-speaking area of Czechoslovakia the idea to have it subtitled in Czech, a complete rarity in the history of Czechoslovak cinema. Many of the extras were hired at Šarišské Michaľany and Fintice, two of the filming locations, as well as in neighboring Ostrovany.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleas’d he could whistle them back.”

That you, in the dim coming times,
May know how my heart went with them
After the red-rose-bordered hem.”

On the Gulliby Isles where the Pooh-pooh smiles,
And the Rumbletum bunders roar.”
