Tajemství krve
Martin Frič
Vladimír Ráž, Zdeněk Štěpánek
Медик Ян Янский успешно заканчивает учебу. Он хочет стать хирургом, но оказывается в психиатрической клинике профессора Каффнера, где он и его коллега Коздера пытаются найти связь между свертываемостью крови и психическими заболеваниями. Неожиданно было обнаружено, что кровь человека можно разделить на четыре группы, что предотвращает свертывание крови при её переливании. Однако открытие Янского встречает недоумение со стороны чешского медицинского сообщества, которое признает вклад этого ученого в медицинскую науку только после его трагической смерти.
The Secret of Blood
Dobrý voják Švejk
Karel Steklý
Rudolf Hrušínský, Eva Svobodová
Good-natured and garrulous, Švejk becomes the Austrian army's most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of World War I -- although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards and getting drunk, he uses all his cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the police, clergy, and officers who chivy him toward battle.
The Good Soldier Švejk
Poslušně hlásím
Karel Steklý
Rudolf Hrušínský, Svatopluk Beneš
A comedy based on the novel of Jaroslav Hašek's The Good Soldier Svejk happens during the World War I. I Dutifully Report: In the introduction to the second part of the film adaptation of Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Švějk presents his main character Josef Švejk. With the distinctive traditional Czech cartoon character of a soldier Svejk, this time you meet on the way to the front and eventually right in the firing line. You can look at his famous train events, and also probably the most famous episode of the novel, Švejk's Budějovice anabasis. Don't miss the scene with the secretly bought cognac, the episode with Svejk as a fake Russian prisoner of war, including the court scene, and the scene in which lieutenant Dub is caught in a brothel. Despite the criticism, Steklý's adaptation is undoubtedly the most famous and memorable at present.
