The White Lady

We're entering a new phase of history here, and you're going to be messing around with ghosts... If it were up to me, I'd uproot it. The idea is not bad and some of the gags are humorous, but otherwise, it's as problematic as the film Who Wants to Kill Jessie? set in the Czechoslovak present next year. In a cinema where there is no serious White Lady-themed film, it is a mistake to follow the opposite end of such duds as The Woman in White is Lost (1937). (03/22/2011)

"Long live Comrade President" - "But it's not true." - "He knows that, but what can that mean? ... Long live Comrade President!" Communist morality in a nutshell and with insight that isn’t awkward. Not too many of these actually came into existence. (09/16/2003)

It's almost unbelievable that something like that could have been created during the time of communism, but it's clear that the 1960s were indeed somewhat more liberal. Or someone forgot to censor the film. It’s incredibly funny, though unfortunately, it stems from the fact that such times existed. Nevertheless, it's excellent satire that we can still laugh at today. And I hope we realize that we don't want this absurdity anymore. The ending scene with the bridge is absolutely brilliant, and there's simply nothing more to add to it. (12/28/2013)
