Score:
Two years after appearing together in Kristian (1939) the popular acting trio of Nataša Gollová, Oldřich Nový, and Adina Mandlová reunited with director Martin Frič to shoot a remake of Karel Lamač’s German-language romantic comedy Das verliebte Hotel from 1933. The plot of both films revolves around the titular hotel, which has been inherited by the confident and industrious Zuzana (Gollová). In the course of the film, she tries to both resurrect a thriving business and win the heart of the wealthy Vladimír (Nový), who is suffering in his relationship with the elegant Milada (Mandlová). The popularity of this comedy from the First Republic is rooted in a masterfully told story as well as in the harmony of the lead actors, who were given a lot of space to demonstrate their comedic talent. The film was awarded at the Zlín film festival in 1941 and Nataša Gollová received the National Prize for Acting.
