Escape from the Shadows
1959 · 1 hr 37 mins
This exemplary "psychological drama" depicts the difficulties with which a new socialist mindset is born. Director Jiří Sequens warns against ill-advised marriages into the families of the defeated bourgeoisie, because the former royalty refuses to accept a man from a different social class. The heroes of this film will find out. The former owner of a pharmacy refuses to accept that his daughter has married a mere technical draughtsman. However, her father's hateful schemes cause the sensitive woman to attempt suicide.
Director: Jiří Sequens
Cast: František Smolík, Ludmila Vendlová, Stanislav Remunda, Josef Bek, Renata Olárová
