Review of Dame op de sporen

This engaging Czech musical lightly satirizes the banalities of 1960s life by stylizing them in song and dance routines. Traffic jams, beauty salons, gossiping neighbors in an apartment house form amusing chorus lines. The heroine (Jirina Bohdalova) is a tram driver in Prague who rebels against her work-weary existence after she discovers her husband's infidelity. Although the movie is uneven, it has charm and lovely photography.
