The Unfortunate Bridegroom

This subversive small-town comedy centers on the investigation into an alleged rape purportedly committed by a man (Jiří Hrzán) on the eve of his wedding. As the bumbling investigators (Vladimír Pucholt and Jan Vostrčil) dig into the case, they deduce that not all is as it seems. With an array of colorful characters and a sly take on human foibles and relationships, this tragicomic farce proved to be one of the most popular Czech films of the 1960s.
