The breakthrough moments of the turn of silent and sound film in the Czech Republic are exclusively connected with the guest star Ita Rina from Slovenia. She was very captivating and inspires to this day as Machatý's second muse in Seduction. Regarding the generally lesser-rated aspects of ...and Life Goes On... I would attribute its weakest moments to the dubbing work. From 1933 to 1935 there was only minimal experience with this film technique, which is why the phenomenon of multilingual versions worked then, right? It was simply too soon. Other than that, I'm fine with it. I don't have the slightest problem with the acting, the script, or the varied work of the several creative teams on the interiors and exteriors. In fact, I consider the whole a very successful continuation of the film Such Is Life. Ideally, the two films could be presented together as the most interesting examples of the cosmopolitanism of Czech film at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s.
