The popular humorous fairy tale with Jan Werich Once upon a time there was a king contains several hidden values important for the communist regime. The film version differs in many ways from Božena Němcová’s book version. Why do only ordinary people have positive qualities in the fairy tale and why did Vlasta Burian get the role from Werich, who felt guilty towards him? You will find out in Stories from the Square.
Simple people like the best. Humorous fairy tale with Werich copying communist values | Video: Aktuálně.cz
Simple, hardworking people as the best and nobles as shallow, proud and evil. The characters in the fairy tale filmed in the 1950s mirror the then communist regime. Only “ordinary people”, such as a gardener, a fisherman or perhaps a grandmother who grows spices, have positive qualities. On the contrary, the fairy tale mocks the nobles and portrays them as villains.
The communist regime also manifested itself in connection with the acting career of some actors. For example, the representative of Drahomíra, the actress Irena Kačírková, was targeted by the StB, which tried to force the actress to cooperate. As she refused, she played minor and negative roles from then on.
But the actress Milena Dvorská, whose acting career took off after the fairy tale, was. When she went to Jan Werich as a fifteen-year-old student for an autograph, the actor offered her the role of Maruška. The character of the youngest princess in the fairy tale Once Upon a King opened the door to the world of acting for the girl.
