This three-part Austrian/Czech comedy stretches the boundaries of what is considered to be humorous. Part one finds a silent film actor upset because of a rival actor's attention to the former's wife. When he kills his rival, it is only when he is strapped to the electric chair that he realizes that this is his last live scene. The second episode has the wife of an elderly British nobleman having an affair with the young gamekeeper of their estate. Part three finds a peasant woman taking a lover when her husband goes off to fight the war.

A group of wealthy American Jewish businessmen have been captured by the SS and are told that they are to be traded to the American army for several SS officers. However, these hostages are being required to pay bribes for their "transportation costs." In order to ensure that the businessmen will be more cooperative in paying up, a beautiful female singer is placed in their midst as a bargaining chip. The group of hostages are then placed on a train which is supposed to take them to the ship that will deliver them to freedom, but a series of "mishaps" delays their escape.
A character from a musical film falls into the real world in this short, predating similar films by Woody Allen (The Purple Rose of Cairo) and Wojciech Marczewski (Escape from the 'Liberty' Cinema).

야심으로 가득 찬 아티거스는 상상을 초월한 막강한 폭발물을 발명한 천재 발명가 박사와 그의 조수를 그의 섬에 납치하고 그 폭발물의 힘을 빌려 세계를 위협하려 한다. 박사의 조수는 아티거스의 계략을 눈치채고 섬에서 도망치려 하지만 뜻밖의 일들에 휩싸이게 된다. 쥘 베른의 원작 소설을 카렐 제만의 독특한 상상력으로 새롭게 재탄생시킨 작품으로 라이브 액션과 애니메이션으로 조합된 그만의 순수한 스타일이 처음으로 드러난 작품이다. 이런 독특한 스타일은 20세기 초반 프랑스의 영화감독 조르주 멜리어스(Georges Melies)의 무성영화들과 소설가 쥘 베른의 첫 번째 책에 그림을 그려 넣었던 프랑스의 화가들, 리옹(Rion)과 베넷(Bennet) 의 영향을 받았다. 1958 브뤼셀 엑스포-58 장편부분 그랑프리 수상. 1958 프랑스 영화 아카데미 국제 그랑프리 수상.

The title of this highly-regarded Czech drama translates as Wolf Trap. Set in the 1920s, the story revolves around an ambitious young provincial politician (Miroslav Dolozai) who enters into a marriage of convenience with a smotheringly possessive -- and much older -- woman (Jirina Sejbavola). Hoping to temporarily escape his overbearing wife's clutches, the husband strikes up a friendship with her young ward (Jana Brejchova). The relationship blossoms into a deep abiding love, but the jellyfish husband can't bring himself to declare his ardor to the girl. Even after the death of the wife, the husband hasn't the intestinal fortitude to admit his passion, and the results are bleak indeed for the unfortunate ward. Director Jiri Weiss does a masterful job staging his story of frustration and denial against a backdrop of post-WWI bourgeois banality.

Good-natured and garrulous, Švejk becomes the Austrian army's most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of World War I -- although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards and getting drunk, he uses all his cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the police, clergy, and officers who chivy him toward battle.

In late 19th century Czech-speaking Bohemia, oppressed workers at German-owned mines and foundries revolt against their harsh working conditions. Made shortly after World War II as Czechoslovakia was falling to communism, the film resonates in Czech resentment of the German occupation.
