Pavel Hobl's little known musical presents Jiří Menzel as a handsome teacher with rather unusual educational methods. The girls of the infamous class at a grammar school mostly listen to radio during the lessons, and they cannot even multiply. The new professor, Ludolf distributes several “F”s in the very first lesson. The rebellious girls start with spiteful pranks, even manipulating their parents against the uncompromising teacher. However, Ludolf cannot be deterred and comes up with an idea to turn the hated classes into an entertaining attraction. He turns Pythagorean theorem into music and gains numerous groupies.

English A fairly pleasant, albeit undemanding musical with several nice songs, with one of the stars being the charismatic Jaroslava Schallerová. This film functions today both as a nostalgic treat for those who remember it and as a preserved snapshot of certain stars. In one of the roles of mathematically untouched girls, the young Lenka Filipová appeared, and she was a very pleasant sight... Overall impression: 55%. ()

English Oh, those saving end credits! If I heard the Pythagorean song one more time, I would probably start to hate mathematics. Nevertheless, the film is enjoyable, Jiří Menzel is a comedian cynic in his own right, the girls are beautiful (Jaroslava Schallerová reminds me very much of Veronika Kubařová), Zdeněk Svěrák's dialogues (who doesn't say a single word himself) are suitably funny and there is nothing bad to say about the music by one of our geniuses, Angel Michajlov.
