According to Václav Sloup, who played the lead role, his mother did not leave their house after the premiere for 14 Days because she was ashamed of the role her son had played. The role also ruined his personal relationship and almost destroyed his theatre career.
This film was distributed as a double-bill with The Death of Tarzan (1963), also based on short story by Josef Nesvadba and directed by Jaroslav Balík.
