Das Ende des Geheimagenten W4C mit Hilfe des Hundes von Herrn Foutska

If Oldřich Lipský had taken up this theme, the final form would have been even more interesting. But Václav Vorlíček is undoubtedly an excellent director, too, and his take on Bond parodies is as crazy and endearing as the main character of the accountant Foustka, who’s a spy, even if he refuses to believe it. The promising story gets a bit stuck halfway through, but thanks to the omnipresent humour, the hilarious allusions and above all the climax in the swimming pool, it retains a hearty portion of entertainment that no one else but us can match.

This Vorlíček masterpiece ages like wine with each passing year... I can't do anything else but add an extra star and round up the overall impression to 95%. It's not just a parody of Bond movies and action spy thrillers, but above all an extremely intelligent comedy directed by a talented director and performed by top actors of the 60s. It's a film from the happiest years of Czech film production, when a lot could already be done and the rules of the game were not dictated by commerce. It doesn't make sense to highlight individual actors, quotes or scenes, because it is an exceptionally balanced film. Overall impression: 95%. (28.09.2007)
