Interesting facts

The film was lost during the Great Patriotic War.

In 2008, five 16mm film reels of a film without the original titles, labeled as "El Hijo del otro" ("The son of another") were found in Argentina. Copies of the film were kept in the archive of the Museum of Cinema in Buenos Aires. Some film critics regard this event as "the biggest archival discovery in the history of Russian cinema in the last half century," and liken it to the "release of the second part of Ivan the Terrible.[4]
