Curiosidades

Jaroslava Schallerová met the love of her life, Petrem Poradou, during the making of this film. Her mother was present on the set throughout the entire shooting of this movie.

Jaroslava Schallerová was chosen from over 1,500 girls who auditioned for the role of Valerie.

As of October 2007, is currently playing at selected venues as a silent film with a live orchestra and re-interpreted score. The project is known as The Valerie Project.

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders was one of many films hindered by socialist censorship during the Soviet occupation of then Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). Fictional media in the Soviet Union and any Soviet-occupied places had been highly suspect if not sanctioned by the State, and ran the risk of being either censored or forcibly destroyed. Valerie and Her Week of Wonders not only survived as a film, but it reached foreign audiences, its original musical soundtrack was preserved, and its book basis has been translated into multiple languages.

Jan Klusák originally planned on composing the score, but ultimately changed his mind because he was exhausted after acting in this film.
