O Honzovi a Barušce

Very catchy songs, a reasonable runtime and, not only by fairy tale standards, a really disgustingly slimy Josef Kemr. These are probably the biggest pros. Otherwise, I was surprised how much was missing in the tale (the first escape from the old man, his punishment...) - almost as if it was the fault of the senile grandfather narrator, unmistakably played by František Kovářík.
