Directed by Oldřich Lipský • Drama • With Rudolf Hrušínský , Olga Schoberová, Miloš Kopecký • 1978 • 102 minutes
Czech director Oldřich Lipský's beloved cult hit about a handsome but bumbling detective and a man-eating plant is an irresistible slapstick combination of 19th century James Bond gadgetry, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, Blake Edwards circa THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN and Louis Feuillade silent serials like FANTÔMAS and JUDEX. In other words, a sheer delight.
