Summary
Family comedy Můj brácha má prima bráchu (My Brother has a Marvellous Brother, 1975) was a box office success that led to the release of a sequel three years later. Both films were directed by Stanislav Strnad. The protagonists of this relaxing motion picture are, as in the initial film, the likable rogue Martin, now 15 years-old, and his older brother Honza – who has had a daughter with his lover – now wife – Zuzana. However, jealousy threatens to destroy their marriage and divorce is only avoided thanks to the resourceful Martin and his friend Magda. Meanwhile, Martin also manages to ensure that their parents let him fulfil his own dream – to become a zoologist. Apart from child actor Roman Čada, veterans Jan Hrušínský and Libuše Šafránková appear in the film. It offers proof that good casting means that the range of traditional Czech films of quality for young audiences even includes movies from the 1970s.
