Námluvy komtesy Gladioly aneb Přistání ve skleníku

It might require a bit more detachment from me, but honestly, I'm not a fan of operettas. Not even when they're presented to me as parodies. Many songs, in my opinion, only highlight the low standard of operetta production of its time. If I have to mention something positive, I was favorably impressed by the encounters with the lesser-known Pavlína Filipovská, Václav Trégl, or Jaroslav Šterc. Otherwise, this piece could very well remain in the television archive. After watching, I realized that there's a small grain of truth in the speeches of those who speak of Podskalský as the embodiment of shallow entertainment and socialist variety shows. Not that I identify with these people, but I understand their perspective now. Overall impression: 45%. (02.12.2009)

"Mr. Baron, allow me to introduce myself for the last time. I am Cyprián Kachle, the chicory maker." I like operettas, I like parodies, and I like without exception all the actors and actresses who appeared in Námluvy komtesy Gladioly aneb Pristání ve skleníku. That's why I don't hesitate for a second to give it a full rating, and I'm still amazed at what great things are lying around in the dusty TV archive. (04.10.2011)
