Jánošík (1935 film)

Jánošík is a 1935 Czechoslovak drama film directed by Martin Frič.

[1] Writing for The Spectator in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a poor review.

Noting that the theme of robbing the rich to give to the poor "should retain its appeal until the Millennium", Greene found that the "romantic rollicking tuneful" beginning jarred sharply with the film's conclusion which sees the robber's "cruel death, hung like butcher meat with a spike in his ribs".

As Greene sardonically observes, "Romance and robber tunes and lyrical shots of a long-legged Fairbanks hero don't go with the spike.
