Zítra vstanu a oparím se cajem

Amazing How can you be a pilot of a very special flight, go back in time to Nazi Germany, scald yourself with tea and still win the girl??? I saw this film in 1978 on British TV .... I recorded then lost it.... its a great film...what is is with Czech directors? Even as we speak I am watching Conspirators Of Pleasure...just as funny 9 out of 10

I understand it was Saturday 16th January 1982 when I first saw this film. Dallas was on BBC 1 and Match of the Day wouldn't start for another half hour or so. So my brother and I decided to watch the beginning of this film on BBC 2 and then turn over for the football. Except we watched the whole thing. It really was that good.

Fast forward to 2006 and I finally got a copy of the DVD in my grubby mitts. I had to get it from the Czech Republic but it's PAL and the same region as the UK. I watched it and couldn't believe just how much I remembered from over twenty years previously.

Petr Koska is brilliant in his three roles: Jan Bures, Karel Bures and Jan pretending to be Karel. In this third role he improves his performance to the other characters as the film goes on because he has figured out how the plot should take shape after nearly mucking things up somewhat the first time round.

For me, getting the DVD has been a delightful piece of nostalgia!

Like most of the other commentators here I saw this film as part of a BBC2 foreign film season in I think the very early 80s. I vaguely remember the next two in the series but this one has stuck in my mind ever since and I would dearly love to see it again. I've lost count of the number of times I've tried to describe it to friends! Twins (one dominated by the other), unrequited love, time travel, all good comedic potential - but add in Hitler and make sure that no element is overplayed and you have something quite unusual. The interplay between the twins in particular is beautifully handled. A touch of Groundhog Day, a touch of Back to the Future, a touch of Blackadder - sheer genius. Do you think that anyone will ever show it on TV again?

I remember watching this film screened on BBC2 late one evening in 1981 or was it 1980? I know the BBC still have rights to screen it, so if we're lucky we could press them into screening it on BBC4.

It's a great film, with an even better take on the whole Sci-Fi 'time travel' genre. Back To The Future, Time Cop and all other time travel flicks pale into insignificance when compared to this offering... I'm sure Speilberg has seen this.

I'm no Sci-Fi nut but when you consider this film was made in 1977 the screenplay must've been knocking around for a fair while before that, it's a great tribute to good writing. But what am I saying? I was all of 13 years-old when me and my brothers Robbie and Alan stayed up late to watch this on our old Indersit B/W telly. I only just remember it, but I know good movies and good tales when I see/hear them... and I've never forgotten this one.

There's a Ray Bradbury story called 'A Sound Of Thunder' which looks at the consequences of time travel and messing and altering time lines... hey I could go on forever about this.

I'd pay money to this film again - with or without subtitles, on video or DVD. But if anyone wants to help me badger the controller of BBC4 into screening it or releasing it on vid ( I'm not sure that they can) let's do it before some studio exec finds it and re-makes it and spoils the memory like always.

Arrrggghhhh! I want to see this film again.

This is a film I saw just once on BBC2 on a Saturday night. In order not to watch Dallas I thought I'd watch the first half hour of the film and then turn over for Match of the Day. MotD never got a look in. The film had me laughing from the word go and made such an impression on my mind that I could still vividly remember scenes from it over a quarter of a century later. Today I received the DVD from a shop in the Czech Repbulic and am astounded at how well I remember the film. The plot centres around the plan by a group of former Nazis to travel back in time and give Hitler a hydrogen bomb and the attempt of the pilot to stop them. He is actually the twin brother of the pilot who should have been taking them but who had died choking on a bread roll. The immobilising spray and the washing up liquid were just as I remembered them. The American tourists were hammed up for all they were worth (it was made under communist rule after all). This is a very funny film and well worth the effort of ordering it from a website in a language I don't read.
