Příhody pana Příhody

This was a classic mistake of the late Steklý, who fell all the way to the bottom during normalization. It's the same problem as his later films over and over again. The subject matter doesn't sound bad, and the cast is okay, but the final product classically makes no sense whatsoever and is physically unpleasant to sit through. The only minor plus is the attempt by Pavla Břínková to play a film role. Thanks to her we get excerpts from Hašler or Nedbal, but she needs to tame her stage manner in the dialogues. (18.07.2020)
