Well-Paid Stroll

This documentary film describes the preparations for the new presentation of the jazz opera created by Jiří Suchý and Jiří Šlitr at the National Theatre in Prague. The show originated in 1965 and was presented at the Semaphor Theatre, the home stage of these popular authors and singers. Jan Roháč and world-renowned Miloš Forman directed this version. It was also the latter who created a successful come-back of the show 40 years later in the spring of 2007, with the help of lyricist Jiří Suchý, conductor Libor Pešek and Forman's twin sons, stage designers Petr and Matěj.
