Georgiy Yumatov not very fond of the picture. He thought that the picture is doomed to failure, because he thought director Vladimir Rogovoy was inexperienced. His character seemed to him a superficial and narrow-minded as himself Yumatov went through the war and knew what it was.
The initiator of the film was the then Defence Minister of the USSR Andrei Grechko.
