Commentary:
After Šorak’s success with the film Officer With a Rose with critics and the viewers, Zastava Film, a production house owned by the Yugoslav National Army specializing in propaganda and ideologically colored films about the Yugoslav army, hired him to make this feature film. Its main task was to glorify a model officer of the Yugoslav army. Siniša Kovačević, who is today one of the most respectable Serbian dramatists wrote the screenplay. This film was tauntingly referred to as the Yugoslav Top Gun, and it failed to capture the interest of either critics or audiences.
