If all soldiers are Schwejks', you can forget war., 25 July 2000
8/10
Author: (amikus2000) from Marburg

This old austrian-czech stories provided the story for the 'honest' soldier Schwejk, who arranges life to his own, not honest, but 'honest'. This movie gives an insight of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy with its many ethnies and attitudes before WW 1. Rühmann starres charming and smiling, like in other movies.
