The Woman in White is Lost

A slight disappointment. The idea is fine, and the individual details are wonderful (the idea of a children's detective story, the attractive setting of the castle, the social motif), but the whole thing somehow just fails. It is better to evaluate it as an amateur endeavor, as in a mixture of everything that came from Brno of the time. It's almost unbelievable how even such children's films become great compared to this Moravian mistake. I'm sorry to have to say it, but it was a waste of decent actors (for example Vlasta Hrubá, František Paul, Jindřich Plachta or Miloš Nedbal), alongside naturals (Jarmila Urbánková or Jan Purkrábek). And of course, the kids needed better guidance, not to mention the poor technical quality. (17/10/2020)
