Who decided that Tomáš Holý would get the role?
The film had a December pre-premiere in the cinema, where people moving around the film and relatives of the actors gathered. However, it was only his inclusion in the Christmas Eve program in 1977 that caused a storm and Tomáš Holý entered the new year as a nationally loved star.
There are many stories about how he got the role. According to one, the director only noticed him when he was leaving the audition, because he made an interesting gesture with his hat. Another attributes the decisive word to his film father František Němc, who believed in him.
On the contrary, Alena Poledňáková’s son, who was the model for the role of Vašek, did not like Tomáš. He had a strange haircut and was said to look like a “fat aunt”.
