Summary
When it comes to the output of director Václav Krška, comedies make up the lesser part of his work. Moreover, an amusing movie inspired by Italian folk comedies is a rarity of Czechoslovak sixties cinema. At the same time, the subject of 1967's Dívka s třemi velbloudy (The Girl with Three Camels) could even serve as the basis for a psychological family drama. The story’s heroine, 16 year-old Bobina, is set to become a single mother – thus following the fate of her own mother and her forebears. Her only memento of the father of the offspring to be, a young fitter whom she met at a dance, is an exotic postcard with three camels...
