„Rakev ve snu viděti...“ (1968)
The Ronov castle has been changed into a hotel, offering stylish facilities to its guests: weddings in the torture chamber, a Black Lancer kidnapping brides, a night's lodging in a family tomb etc. The reformed petty swindler Felix Pacínek (Bohumil Smída) runs the hotel. The business is far from thriving; the place is half-empty, and the jazz band Skeleton, together with their singer Zuzanka (Jaroslava Obermaierová), decide to leave. Nobody in the hotel has any idea that the band is in fact a gang of thieves who have just robbed the Prague State Bank, taking two million crowns from its vaults.

A lot of fun.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
