Reception

The interpretation of Vlasta Burian and Anny Ondra in the film has been called "brilliant".[6] The film was a commercial success,[7] which, in 2013, Robert Rohál commented: "Lamač actually managed to do the seemingly impossible – to put a male and female clown in front of the camera."[7]
