Potulné pohádkové divadlo

All lovers of fairy tales, parodies and comedies turned inside out, beware! This is an unbelievable and unfamiliar blast that both children and adults will enjoy. Unlike the (eponymous) film that is a year younger, this 1975 roaming fairy tale theatre has everything. Miloš Kopecký in particular shines. In the very first story, he gives free rein to his comedic talent, when, disguised as a charming grandfather (he looks and talks just like the dashing, blind piano tuner from Lemonade Joe), he tricks the clever Vašek (Miroslav Donutil), who has set out to woo the princess, daughter of the king played by Jiří Pecha. The second tale is a devil's tale. Josef (Donutil again) makes a deal with the devil (Pecha), does well for five years, and when the devil comes for him, he ingeniously disarms him. The story doesn't end there, however, because (pleased with how easy it was) he then decides to make another deal with another devil (played by Kopecký as a very bored clerk), whom he also wants to get rid of. But watch out! Fairy tale number three! The main draw: Miloš Kopecký as Baba Jaga! That's all I need to say. I screamed with laughter and tears flowed as the woman announced in a squeaky voice to the incoming brave prince that she was cooking porridge and had no time for him... Like the two previous stories, this one ends with a cute point that makes it more than just a goofy story to entertain the kids. In short, I recommend this three-quarter hour to everyone. (02/12/2011)
