The best known adaptation for film of Jaroslav Hašek’s satirical novel joins timeless humor with trenchant irony, the target of which is not limited to the senselessness of war alone. The peculiar protagonist who, while overzealously carrying out the orders of his superiors, becomes a calamity for those around him, is visually inspired by the illustrations of Josef Lada and played by the unforgettable Rudolf Hrušínský.
