Short description
The firemen of a provincial Czechoslovakian town throw a ball in honor of the old chief's retirement. There will be music and dancing, a beauty pageant and a raffle. The whole town will be in attendance. However, the proceedings are dogged by difficulty at every step. Workplace injuries, stolen prizes, a shortage of pretty girls... and fire.
What's left behind the scenes
- This is the last film shot by Miloš Forman in Czechoslovakia. The making of this film, in fact, was the reason for Forman's emigration from Czechoslovakia.
- This film was the first by Forman to be shot in color.
- The original title of the film "Hori Ma Panenko" is translated as "My Lady Burns…"
- The firemen's ball was based on a real firemen's ball that Forman and Papousek saw in the town of Vrchlabi (Hohenelbe) while thinking about the script for a new film.
