A gem. Too good to miss.
By a customer from Barnes , 26 Jan 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
First of all, this print is excellent.
Why recommend this? Well, because there aren't that many films out there that can raise a laugh or two or three. And all in the search for love.
There are two stand out scenes: the ballroom scene and the girl's visit to her beau's parent's flat. Both funny/sad. All the humanity of the characters is in evidence; their hopes, illusions, adjustments.
The eye for detail makes this for me Foreman's great work.
It paints a rather drab picture of Czechoslovakia; but it could just as easily be Ireland or Italy.
Highly recommended; just don't be put off by it being in black and white and having subtitles!- Was this review helpful to you?

(4)Blonde in Love
By Leni (179 reviews) from London , 28 Feb 2011A failed teenage 'love' story in a dismal cold war low-budget Czechoslovakian setting, by Milos Forman before he came to Hollywood. It sounds depressing, but it isn't. I was curious to see if I would like it as much as I did all those years ago. If anything, it has improved with age,- Was this review helpful to you?

Good snapshot of a bygone time
By Rosster (39 reviews) from Airdrie , 17 Feb 2011This was a worthy movie. Quite bold for its time, the mid-60s. Interesting, making it in black-and-white. I thought it certainly captured in substantial part the 'atmosphere' of that era. Story was presented strongly enough to draw you in further, and stick with it, provided you could get beyond the first half-hour or so.- Was this review helpful to you?

Andula love it too
By Oldbloke (313 reviews) from Sidmouth , 27 Jan 2011Love starved factory girls are disheartened when the army comes to their dreary provincial Czech town and turn out to be mostly middle aged married reservists. One of the girls falls instead for a young piano player and follows him to Prague where she receives a very mixed welcome. Like Fireman's Ball, this is a small perfectly formed mix of humour and melancholy, dealing as it does with the hopes and disappointments of people stuck in a terrible time and place. A landmark film that remains very funny, very sad and very good.- Was this review helpful to you?
