Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
An outrageous parody of classic Hollywood westerns, this musical comedy from Czech director Oldrich Lipsky draws on his previous work in animation to spoof and exaggerate the genre. Set in Stetson City, the story opens with a brawl in the Trigger Whisky Saloon. Silver-clad Lemonade Joe (Karel Fiala) rides into town, bringing law and order-and lemonade-to the frontier, while rescuing Winifred Goodman (Olga Schoberová) from the clutches of Hogo Fogo (Milos Kopecký). Throughout the film, characters burst into song at the slightest provocation, regaling audiences with such memorable tunes as "Do You See My Moist Lips?" and "When the Smoke Thickens in the Bar".
One of the most novel films from the Czech New Wave, 'Lemonade Joe' is a comic gem and a clever homage to early Hollywood westerns.
