Léto s kovbojem

Working with Ivo Novák was repeatedly remembered as an encounter with First Republic nobility, which is very interesting, especially in relation to his post-war career. However, Ivo Novák started as an assistant director in 1939, and that explains a lot. His style in Summer Spent with a Cowboy is remotely reminiscent of the pulp magazines of yesteryear, a laid-back summer romance with a touch of the Wild West. Even the main characters are like cutouts from those pages of long ago, a buddy couple who have not been in love for a long time and in which the girl longs for a love adventure. Kolářová's Doubravka is as emancipated as all her fictional predecessors. There is also a memory of the Czech series Just an Ordinary Family through the generational cast of Kolářová, Medřická, and Rosůlková. For the time, the mimicry was well chosen. (05/03/2009)

A nice nostalgic film that never offends on a boring Sunday afternoon. Hanzlík is very likeable, Kolářová is a great actress and they are amazingly good together. (24/08/2012)
