| The Murderer Hides His Face | |||
"Director Petr Schulhoff (the son of a notable pianist / composer) specialised in commercial thrillers, and this seems to be a typical example of his work. On the plus side, we have the reliably oddball Rudolf Hrusinsky (Murder Czech Style, Larks on a String, The Crematory in the leading role, and the technical precision to be expected of any Czech production of the time." – Andrew Langridge “These [supporting character] roles enabled Hrusinsky to develop another element of his talent, the ability to grasp and express what is comic about a character, a relationship, or a situation, an ability which he proceded to demonstrate in the leading role in the two-part film adaptation of the world-renowned novel by Jaroslav Hasek, The Good Soldier Schweik. Also of interest are his psychological studies of criminal investigations in several detective films, such as Fear and The Murderer Hides His Face." – B. Urgosikova, in James Vinson (ed.), The International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers Vol. III: Actors and Actresses “Filmed in crisp black and white in the streets of Prague and the nearby countryside. Who is the murderer... the unemployed windowdresser, the gamekeeper, the farmer, the mentally defective boy? Three women have died. But a daring test is needed before the killer is revealed...” – anonymous 1987 Catalogue note |
