There are still water spirits among us. One group lives in Prague, led by Mr. Wassermann, who is using his wife's family as a servants. All they need is their old house near the river. But the house is to be demolished. They have to stop it. And the only way is to drown Dr. Mrácek, who is responsible for the demolition. But he falls in love with Wassermann's niece Jana. He changes to fish, is mistaked for water spirit from Germany, is drowned and revived again. The other problem is the flour with ears... and so on... =) i realised that there are many fans of oldskool czech comedies from 70's like Limonadovy Joe, Adela jeste nevecerela, The Mysterious Castle In The Carpathians and other.... this one is the same cup of tea. Vaclav Vorlicek keep the style of Oldrich Lipsky and mixed great romantic-comedy-fantasy movie about hard life of czech water spirits... i hope you enjoy it. Whole name of this piece is: "How to drown Dr. Mracek aka the end of water spirits in Bohemia"

谁杀了杰茜? (1966)

谁杀了兔子杰茜?。。。反正不是我! One of the first "pop" 60s movies to appropriate comic-strip imagery (including dialogue balloons), "Who Killed Jessie?"--a ruse, since nobody kills her--is a buoyant, sometimes bawdy exercise in fantasy farce. Two dully married, middle-aged scientists create havoc when her experimental device releases figures from his dreams into the real world. Thus a musclebound superman, bodacious damsel-in-distress and laconic cowboy are suddenly running around Prague, wreaking havoc with their indestructible nature and archetypical fantasy behaviors. It's a hilarious novelty-a sci-fi screwball comedy.
