A film adaptation of Prague’s Liberated Theatre play Heads or Tails (1936). Two newsboys blunder amid the endangered democracy and its defenders. The guys unintentionally help to disclose a coup attempt. A “committed” and humorous image of the power of propaganda and faith in leftist collectivism. (Summer Film School)
