The Hungarian translation by György Hámos Szabad szél was performed at the Budapest Operetta Theater in 1950. <br/><br/>Dunayevsky achieved numerous successes in the Soviet Union with his musical comedies and popular songs.

It is set in a fictional country easily identified as Yugoslavia and the comic scenarios and folk songs are entwined with less-than-subtle political statements against western imperialism.
