The film was directed by Václav Vorlíček. The story was
based on a fairy tale written by Božena Němcová. The
main roles were played by Libuše Šafránková and Pavel
Trávníček. The film was shot at the DEFA studios in
Babelsberg (Brandenburg), in the Barrandov studios in
Prague, and various places in Bohemia in what was
then Czechoslovakia, like the Švihov castle in western
Bohemia, and the Bohemian Forest, as well the Schloss
Moritzburg in Saxony. The film was released in a Czech
and German version. Actors were both Czechs and
Germans and they all spoke their native language. It is
shown on TV around Christmas time every year in the
Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland, and
Norway. The film had its international première in East
Berlin in 1973.

The film stars Libuše Šafránková as the title character,
a young woman who is put upon by her stepmother
and stepsister. The film employs a twist, though, when
a handsome prince comes knocking. Cinderella does
not simply fall into the prince's arms. In this version,
he must actively pursue the young woman who is a
skilled sharpshooter prone to wearing hunting outfits.
Cinderella also has three wishes at her disposal, gained
from three magic nuts.
