One of the most popular comedies of the 1960s tells the story of a trio of married country bumpkins who decide to break into the secrets of the metropolis' nightlife. After a bad experience at the luxurious Diplomat Grill, they decide they need to be indistinguishable from the lions of Prague's salons. So Skopec, Petrtýl and Prouza buy appropriate evening suits and even take society and dance lessons from Professor Emeritus Dvorský. When the masons dressed as cavaliers finally bewitch the three elegant beauties, they have no idea that they, like them, are only pretending to be men of the big world... One of the best domestic comedies of its time is the result of a collaboration between director Zdeněk Podskalský and screenwriter Vratislav Blažek.

This film is the most popular Czechoslovak comedy of the 1960s (according to csfd.cz). One cannot claim that she owes this status to her particularly fine and subtle sense of humour. It's just a very entertaining screwball comedy with an excellent cast.

It is somewhat astonishing that in the supposedly classless communist society of Czechoslovakia, the difference between the rich socialites in Prague and the simple construction workers from the country was allowed to become the main subject of a film.
