I hadn't seen any of Milos Forman's work before I saw this, and it really surprised me (pleasantly). It was a really funny film, with clever characters, very realistic interactions and some surprisingly cheeseless slapstick moments. Also has a movingly downbeat finale.
I doubt many people will make the effort to watch a little known black and white Czech film from the 60s, but those that do will be rewarded.
