In the legendary fairy tale Three Nuts for Cinderella, the actor Jan Hrušínský almost played alongside Libuša Šafránková instead of Pavel Trávníček. In an interview for TN.cz, he revealed that director Václav Vorlíček originally wanted to cast him in the role of the prince. However, due to the events of the time, Hrušínský was not allowed to act in the fairy tale, which he was very sorry for.
The three nuts for Cinderella should have had a completely different form. After the successful Girl on a Broom, director Václav Vorlíček wanted to cast Jan Hrušínský in the role of the prince. Other acting aces from Saxana, such as Vlastimil Zavřel and Jan Kraus, were to portray his entourage.
However, the communist officials did not allow this occupation. “Václav Vorlíček then cast me in the role of the prince, but it was somehow forbidden by the superior authorities at Barrandov. Basically, it was because they wanted to force my dad to withdraw his signature under the Two Thousand Words manifesto, which he signed in the year 68 or 69, ” admitted Hrušínský.
At that time, their family was greatly persecuted by the regime, and Rudolf Hrušínský was not allowed to play for almost six years. “They tried everything. Even by blackmailing his children, so even his brother had similar problems. You know what, today it’s crying over spilled milk, there’s no going back.” the actor admitted that he was very sorry.
He wanted to be the prince in Three Nuts mainly for one reason. “I was very sorry then, my dad suffered immensely when he saw that such bans were happening, but it’s gone now. I was sorry, but not so much because of the role, but rather because I would have liked to play with Libuška back then saffron,” added Hrušínský, who starred in Vorlíčk’s Girl on a Broom and the fairy tale How the Princess Wakes. Pavel Trávníček made his mark as the prince from the Three Nuts for Cinderella.
