Czech film comedy by Jindřich Honzl from 1931. The song film presents police officer Jan Werich and taxi driver Jiří Voskovec, who strive for a well-known actress and try to entertain her on a trip.

Jindřich Honzl (14 May 1894 – 20 April 1953) was a Czech theatre theorist, film and theatre director and pedagogue who was a leading representative of Czech modern theater.

Honzl wrote texts on the theatrical theory of the avant-garde theatre and was initially influenced by surrealism, constructivism and dadaism. He was a leading figure in the left-wing Czech interwar avant-garde. As an artist and theorist, he actively influenced the development of socialist-oriented theater. In his directing work, he was based on a specific acting expression and helped to develop the breadth of his means of expression. His theoretical works laid the foundation for a Marxist interpretation of theatrical science. After 1945, he contributed to the promotion of the ideological principles of Soviet theater culture in Czech theater.
