Dovolená s Andelem

This is one of my top ten Czech movies of all time. I probably know the dialogs by heart. Both this movie, and the sequel - "Andel na Horach" are a unique combination of quality acting, good clean fun entertainment and great picture of "socialist propaganda" of the early fifties. Ignoring all the "comrade" stuff, the plot is simple but pleasant and Jaroslav Marvan is excellent, as always, continuing in his successful pre-war career. A definite must to have in your personal collection of Czech films - too bad that the version with English subtitles is difficult to find. As I write this review, I'm watching the sequel, a ritual which happens every couple of months or so. Simply a good movie, always ready to please.
