(1940) Vlasta Burian, Antonin Mikulic, Meda Valentová. A fine fantasy-comedy (7.1 on IMDB) with a tiny touch of horror. There are many plot elements: clandestine marriages, secret children, castle ghosts, hush-hush love affairs, etc.—all woven together by great script-writing, resulting in many uproarious moments. The scene where the town doctor visits the Baron’s castle is hilarious. You’ll also laugh when the Baron uses his mouth to imitate musical instruments and when the castle ghost knocks things off walls. Lots of fun! English subs. Aka Baron Munchhausen. 35mm.
