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.

Frauen sind keine Engel" was made on a moderate budget and has generally found not as much attention as that which has been rightfully accorded to his 'Viennese trilogy' made at about the same time. Please don't expect the outward splendour of some other Forst films, even though script, acting and direction leave nothing to be desired. However, like many of Forst's more important films this one not only provides great entertainment, but is also a thorough examination of the relation of fiction/art and reality.

In a transport museum, the items on display begin to tell their stories. Most interesting is the history of the Pullman car. In the beginning, it served as transport for a princely family; then became the headquarters car for the military high command; and then, most adventurous of all, it ended up with a circus. Converted to a bar, it finally had its day and was supposed to serve as a placard carrier. Luckily, the museum saved it from this sad fate.
