The can of meat the train guard is eating from was clearly marked: "U.S. Meat". This would have been correct in actual life due the United States' Lend Lease with the Soviet Union.
The film was awarded the prize "For the best film for young people" and the prize "For high humanism and exceptional artistic qualities" in Cannes.
The film was a success all over the world. As a result, the film received a 101 foreign award.
On the first day of filming (the scene of departure from the front), Grigoriy Chukhray injured his leg; when the filming resumed, he contracted typhoid fever.
Initially, Oleg Strizhenov and Liliya Aleshnikova were approved for the leading roles, but they were replaced at the insistence of Grigoriy Chukhray.
