Он скромно идет своей дорогой, ни к кому не пристает, и к нему не пристают журналисты с просьбой об интервью. Если бы вы спросили, как его фамилия, он ответил бы просто и скромно: «Швейк». И действительно, этот тихий, скромный человек в поношенной одежде - тот самый бравый солдат Швейк, отважный герой, имя которого еще во времена Австро-Венгрии не сходило с уст всех граждан чешского королевства и слава которого не померкнет и в республике. Я искренне люблю бравого солдата Швейка и, представляя вниманию читателей его похождения во время мировой войны, уверен, что все будут симпатизировать этому непризнанному герою. Он не поджег храма богини в Эфесе, как это сделал глупец Герострат для того, чтобы попасть в газеты и школьные хрестоматии. И этого вполне достаточно.

'The Rest Is Silence, a German-made attempt to update Shakespeare, is one of the best and least self-conscious of this minor genre. As indicated by the title, the film's script is a "mufti" version of Hamlet, with young Hardy Krüger trying to prove that his uncle has killed his father. Direct references to the Shakespeare original abound, right down to the re-enactment of the crime for the benefit of the Uncle and the periodic appearances of the ghost of the hero's father.'
