Otakar Vávra had The Guild of Kutná Hora Virgins, Martin Frič had The Respectable Ladies of Pardubice. Both films are cute costume historical comedies of a French sort, both have beautiful sets, are professionally shot, and you don't really come across a bad actor in them. But I like this one a bit more, which is mainly due to the vigorous Jiřina Štěpničková, the mesmerizing Zita Kabátová, Jaroslav Marvan, Jindřich Plachta ("Damn Women's Generation!") and also Dana Medřická, who has already made her presence known in this small role. ()
I always felt sorry that the beautiful wig that Jiřina Štěpničková wore, on which the period promotion was based, was really just the point of the whole film. But otherwise, it's great. It’s ideal for the period at the end of the Protectorate with a cohort of epilogue stars (Kabátová) and those just coming up (Medřická). We get to enjoy the catchphrases by Plachta, the sexy Bušová, and the darling Nezval. ()
