Although it was officially completed in 1969, it was only allowed to be shown after 10 years, even then only because the film was invited to Cannes.

The Witness is still one of the most brilliant domestic productions of all time, the fact that it becomes a favorite of many of today's young people from the day it is shown to them at school during a history lesson or a student day proves its eternal validity.

The famous lines of the witness are still fondly quoted today, especially the golden spit "a little more yellow, a little more sour, but ours". There is no doubt that this film is perfect as it is, but of course - as in all films - you can find some problems that were overlooked during the filming.

One of the discerning readers of Promotions spotted a mistake that had so far escaped his notice, even though he said he had seen it many times before.

The Witness about 60 times , if not more, and I just love it, I can't get tired of it. I think it is the best Hungarian film ever made, and it will never be better than it. And last time I didn't watch it again with that goal either, because I wanted to find fault with it at all costs, but now I just spotted one, which makes me smile, but it doesn't take anything away from the value of the film, in fact, I think it fits well.

Of course, there is the scene in which Virág's comrades visit Pelikán's family and eat fried potatoes. Then one of the boys makes fun of the group, and Virág's camouflage boys start shooting. In addition to the jams on the shelf, one of them also hits the light bulb according to the dramaturgy, but the light bulb was not broken during the filming, only the lights were turned off.

Afterwards, Pelikán's daughter lights the room with a candle. Well, the buck can be observed here! It's one thing that the light bulb wasn't shot out, it was just turned off, but that a single candle doesn't make the same light as the lamp above their heads is also certain. And if we observe, no one in the room turns the light back on - this also confirms that it was officially shot by one of the gunmen. And when the candle is lit, two light sources also light up, I think that in addition to the room lamp, the lamp used on the set was also used to illuminate the set. It didn't occur to me until now, but I think it's a very funny little bugger"
