(1959) J Radovan Lukavský, Jirí Vala, Jirina Svorcová, Stanislav Remunda.  Being that this is a communist film from Czechoslovakia, it’s quite well done and genuinely exciting at times—a little grim, too, in places.  The story concerns the Czech border guards of the late 1940s and their constant challenges in keeping the smuggler and refugee problem in check (pun intended)...
