Episode 596: 90 Degrees in the Shade (1965)

We conclude Czechtember 2022 with the 1965 film from Jiri Weiss, 90 Degrees in the Shade. The film was a Czech and British co-production meaning that there is both Czech and English version of the film. It’s the story of Alena, a woman who has been involved with a married man who is also her boss. Always a bad mistake, Alena. And one that will lead to a lot of intrigue when Rudolph Hrusinky as Mr. Kurka audits the shop in which they work.

Jonathan Owen and Kat Ellinger join Mike to discuss this oddity of Czech cinema.
