With his business in the doldrums, travel agent Grandpa Piuff comes up with a cute gimmick.
Why not book customers on a "surprise" voyage, with no set itinerary or destination?
Vacationers are delighted with the notion of a journey to goodness-knows-where.
Their revelry is threatened by the wicked machinations of rival travel agent Grosbois and larcenous political insurrectionist Mikhail.

Marina (1947) by Alekos Sakellarios is also worth mentioning for its fusion of music and action in a strange musical melodrama with loose script
and minimal action. It also introduced the new form of female star, in the mould of Katharine Hepburn, with the singer Stella Greca (1925–?), who
sang more than acted, thus linking contemporary production to prewar film traditions and practices in an attempt to produce the first Greek film musical. This was also the first Greek movie in which a long and passionate kiss was recorded to the extreme consternation of moralists—from both left and right.

Tom Pearce, Tom Pearce, lend me your grey mare,
All along, down along, out along, lee,
For I want for to go to Widecombe Fair,
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

"And when shall I see again my grey mare?"
All along, down along, out along, lee,
"By Friday soon, or Saturday noon,
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

So they harnessed and bridled the old grey mare
All along, down along, out along, lee,
And off they drove to Widecombe fair,
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

Then Friday came, and Saturday noon,
All along, down along, out along, lee,
But Tom Pearces old mare hath not trotted home,
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

So Tom Pearce he got up to the top o' the hill
All along, down along, out along, lee,
And he seed his old mare
down a-making her will,
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

So Tom Pearce's old mare, her took sick and died,
All along, down along, out along, lee,
And Tom he sat down on a stone, and he cried
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

But this isn't the end o' this shocking affair,
All along, down along, out along, lee,
Nor, though they be dead, of the horrid career
Of Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

When the wind whistles cold on the moor of the night
All along, down along, out along, lee,
Tom Pearce's old mare doth appear gashly white,
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

And all the long night he heard skirling and groans,
All along, down along, out along, lee,
From Tom Pearce's old mare in her rattling bones,
With Bill Brewer, Jan
Stewer, Peter Gurney,
Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all,
Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

She was a member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party from its inception and was also involved in the feminist movement.

Her novel Siréna was the basis for the screenplay for the 1947 film of the same name with English title The Strike, directed by Karel Steklý. The 1947 film received a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vila_Bachrovna_(Kladno)

It is one of the oldest buildings in Kladno, completed in 1854, after the establishment of the first Kladno mines, in the style of English Neo-Romanticism. In 1860, Prague Steel Company bought the house and used it for the accommodation of the managing directors. In 1887, it was expanded with a tower and a second floor. Central director Karl Wittgenstein's apartments were on the ground floor and Bacher's flat was on the first floor.

After the Feast of Corpus Christi on June 20, 1889, there was a skirmish between the people and gendarmes at the town hall, in a tense time when the events were also preceded by the first big miners' strike on May 25. The windows of the town hall and other houses were broken and shops were looted. After that, around lunchtime, the agitated crowd surrounded Bacher's villa, and subsequently, the gendarmes' warning shots hit three children in the opposite field who succumbed to their injuries. The villa was looted and burned, then the mayor's house on the square was ransacked. Troops also arrived in the city by train from Prague in the evening (11th regiment: two battalions of infantry and one battalion of hunters). A hundred people were arrested in the square. These events are commemorated by the novel Siréna by Maria Majerová and the film adaptation by Karel Steklý.

Apparently, this is a common response to Beloff’s richly imagined archive of the Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society. The project began seven years ago, when the director of the Coney Island Museum invited Beloff to stage an exhibition celebrating the centennial of Freud’s visit to the Dreamland Amusement Park in 1909. “Rather than simply illustrate Freud’s visit, I wanted to explore the unconscious of the people who lived, worked, and played in Coney Island [at the time],” Beloff told Hyperallergic. “The Society was a framework for this. The fact that I invented it was completely in tune with the setting. Everything in the Amusement Park is a crazy fiction — that is its charm.”

When the exhibition opened, many visitors were convinced the Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society had really existed. Called Dreamland: The Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society and Its Circle, 1926–1972, the show consisted of an archive of films, drawings, and photos supposedly made by members of this mysterious, previously unknown Freudian sect. “Sometimes people took my exhibition very literally and even remembered pictures I had created that they claimed they had seen in their childhood,” Beloff said. “Others realized it was a fiction. Sometimes arguments broke out.”
