Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Soja Jovanović was among Yugoslavia's first professional female directors, adapting nationalist playwright Branislav Nušić for communist-era screens.
Nušić's original 1887 play 'A Suspicious Person' was banned by Serbian censors for mocking government officials; this 1954 film version softened the political bite.
