LEMONADE JOE
1964, directed by Oldrich Lipsky
Lemonade Joe will be the second installment of the Czech New Wave Trilogy. Good times should be had by all attendees. Bear in mind that the current DVD release features a less-than-desirable print of the film which has been poorly cropped from widescreen into full screen. Unfortunate as this is, it's not unwatchable and I don't think there will be another DVD release in the near future.
"This Czechoslovakian spoof of classic Hollywood Westerns features hookers with hearts of gold, evil cattle rustlers, heroic duels and the title character -- a sweet, teetotaling cowboy. When alcoholic villains threaten a gorgeous temperance crusader at the Trigger Whiskey Saloon, Lemonade Joe (Karel Fiala) comes to the rescue. Oldrich Lipsky, the artistic director of Prague's Satirical Theater, helms this silly song-filled send-up."

Lemonade and Czech beer? Awesome.
I should have brought some cigarettes for everyone when we watched Bob Le Flambeur. There is a person lighting up a smoke like every 30 seconds in that movie.
Aha! So that is where you got your MySpace moniker from.
Czech beer? I'm there! (Actually I would have been there anyway - beer or no beer.)
