A Prince and the Pauper style fantasy in the form of a King and a rowdy baker, with a big Golem briefly there for some fireworks. It's a highly charming piece, in color and great characters. On the long side, and I wish there was a little more magic sprinkled in to reach the great peaks, but I was entertained by this Czechoslovakian creation. Jan Werich commands the attention and replacement director Martin Fric crafted this well.
