Three country plasterers are living in Prague while they renovate façades. In order to probe the mysteries of urban nightlife and not come off as naïve yokels, they buy proper suits and get training in the social niceties. At the swish Diplomat Grill, the trio meet three elegant beauties. Unbeknownst to them, the girls are also pretending to be members of the elite in order to fleece the three masons, whom they mistake for their betters.... One of the best domestic comedies of the period, the film was co-created by director Zdeněk Podskalský and screenwriter Vratislav Blažek. The casting of the film boosted the appeal of this seemingly easy-going gloss on the moral decay of socialist society (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

Die beste tschechische Komödie aller Zeiten. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen wird sie einfach nicht langweilig, und der Reichtum an Sprüchen ist wohl unerschöpflich (ich habe den Film zum sechsten Mal gesehen und fand immer wieder neue Perlen des Geistes).

Ein tschechischer Fassadenarbeiter gegen eine tschechische Hure in der Realität der Tschechoslowakei. Das ist eine nette Idee, die Übertreibungen der damaligen Realität und die musikalischen Einlagen ergeben eine wahrhaft dadaistische Collage. Aber wären da nicht die emeritierten Oldřich Nový und Jiřina Šejbalová, die sich hinter den Kulissen in Menšíks Humor verliebte, würde ich die Retro-Anspielungen auf die Erste Republik nicht zu schätzen wissen. "Du sündigst, du sündigst, du sündigst...!"

I enjoyed this conversational comedy even after years. The script was brutally simple, but its execution was great. The cast was stellar and the conversation in which the participants were able to connect six different topics completely blew my mind. I would have done without all the singing and dancing, but not even that could deter me from giving five stars.

"Don't make a fool of yourself." - "What kind of fool? I'll punch him in the face and it'll be over." A distinguished cast and several performances that still take your breath away (Jiří Sovák and Vlastimil Brodský are unforgettable) in a very well-made, mostly conversational and partially situational comedy, which unfortunately suffers greatly from the forcefully inserted songs.

The highlight of Zdeněk Podskalský's work and one of the best Czech comedies ever. A brilliant satire on the plebeian conditions in the country, relying on exceptional casting, a daring screenplay that would not have passed a year later, quality music, and experienced, talented direction. This led to a unique film full of absurd situations, sarcastic remarks, and, in the best sense of the word, folk humor. Despite its tantalizing subject, the dialogue never descends into cheap vulgarity. This film is an honestly and elegantly made comedy for the broadest audience. Alongside the top actors of the comedy industry at the time, the film also provided the last major film role to the venerable veteran of Czech comedy, Oldřich Nový, who had limited media exposure at the time. Overall impression: 95%.
