Anděl svádí ďábla

Back in A Solo for an Old Lady, Matějka had already proven that he’d mastered widescreen color cinema to perfection. The sequel Angel Seduces Devil is perhaps only brought down by the overly protracted production, which couldn't cope with the fact that it was supposed to be the middle part of a trilogy (hence the alarming sirens at the very end). Moreover, the story takes place not in 1933, as is sometimes mistakenly stated, but at the turn of 1930/1931, just a year after the first film, which complicates the situation for the inattentive viewer.
