Summary
The inexplicable similarity of four men forms the basis for this simple comedy made by director Josef Mach in 1973. The story – from a screenplay devised by Mach himself – starts out with the robbery of a cinema box office. One after another, car thief Halama, shy bridegroom Poupě, the jealous and divorcing Pic and cinema projectionist Vlk become the prime suspects. However, they are so similar in appearance that jovial police detective Panenka (Josef Bek) keeps getting them mixed up. The rather mechanically construed plot of Tři nevinní (The Tree Innocent), which verges on an action movie, first puts the men behind bars and then into the same hospital.... Starring as all four suspects is Jiří Sovák, who tries to dramatically differentiate between the three innocent and one guilty man. Libuše Švormová, Marie Drahokoupilová and Kateřina Buriánová appear in the female roles of this motion picture in which all the clues point to the town of Kolín.
