Description
His highness adjutant / Pobocnik jeho vysosti DVD
Synopsis
Nearly seventy years ago, Martin Frič's comedy Pobočník Jeho Výsosti (The Aide-de-Camp to His Highness) captivated audiences in packed premiere cinemas for seven weeks. Starring the acclaimed Vlasta Burian in the lead role, the film highlighted his fondness for uniforms of all kinds, a trait Burian often displayed in theatre, film, and even his personal life. In this situational farce, Burian plays Lieutenant Patera, who becomes entangled in a scandalous affair of the highest circles of the Habsburg monarchy and is consequently transferred to a remote garrison in Mňuk. The comedy is based on E. A. Longen's play "Kasta pro sebe aneb Travičská aféra nadporučíka Hofrichtera" (A Caste of Its Own or The Poisoning Affair of Lieutenant Hofrichter), performed at Burian's theatre. This was the last film shot in the AB studios in Vinohrady.
