	Jan Werich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jan Werich (born 6th February, 1905, Prague - died 31st October, 1980, Prague) was Czech actor, playwright and writer.
		But in the bitter reality leading to the Second World War and the closure of Czechoslovak theatres Werich, Voskovec and Jezek were forced into exile in the United States in 1938, where Voskovec and Jezek remained for the rest of their lives.
		Jan Werich made his debut in film and television where movies he starred in have kept their mythic status in Czech popular culture to this day.

		In 1927 Jan Werich and Jiri Voskovec created an enduring partnership with musical legend Jaroslav Jezek and produced a series of left-wing satires during the 1930s.
		Werich is Tonda, a man of dubious character and Voskovec is Pepík a cuckholded husband.
		While Werich, Voskovec and Jezek left for the States just before the war in 1938, Weich returned to Czechoslovakia afterwards to play a major role in the arts before struggling with the communist towards the end of this life, until his death in 1980.

	Voskovec and Werich - enduring symbols of pre-war Czechoslovak culture - 11-02-2005 - Radio Prague
		The great Czech actor and comedian Jan Werich was born 100 years ago this past Sunday.
		Voskovec & Werich's unconventional humour often poked fun at the pompous petty bourgeoisie and is often seen today as left wing — which is not always warmly appreciated in a country with a communist past.
		While Jiri Voskovec returned to the United States and settled there, his partner Jan Werich stayed on in communist Czechoslovakia, and made a glorious career as a theatre and film star.

		Moreover, Jan Werich and Vlasta Burian are in fact major figures in Czech cultural history.
		Werich's post-war running of the Liberated Theatre had an influence on Vaclav Havel, who at the time worked there as a youthful stage hand and Werich is noted as a writer and raconteur, as much as he is as an actor.

	Jan Werich - Czechoslovakia's "wise clown" - 07-01-2004 - Radio Prague
		Today we look at the famous Czech actor Jan Werich, who never lost his ability to laugh or his sharp social awareness, even through two world wars.
		The trio's work took inspiration from Dada, with its love of the absurd, a reaction against bourgeois values and the horrors of World War I. The two intellectual clowns attacked the inanities of totalitarianism as well as the mistakes of democracy.
		They include Byl jednou jeden kral or the Once upon a Time There Was a King, which was released in 1955, and made many political compromises to appease the communist censors.

	Holly Raynard, University of California, Los Angeles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		While Executioner and Fool was not Voskovec and Werich's first political play (their political comedy dates to 1931), it was the first to generate such controversy.
		After right-wing forces organized protests during a performance of Executioner and Fool on October 30, 1934, Voskovec and Werich (or V+W) were featured almost daily in the press — not only in theater reviews, but in connection with such non-theatrical topics as university finance, politics, and the homeless.
		I argue that their satire was hardly retrograde, but captured a compelling interplay of art and life befitting V+W's avant-garde roots.

	Central Europe Review - Slice of Life: Once Upon A Time in the Czech Republic: A Brief History of the Czech pohádka.
		It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of these pohádky in Czech culture (I'm using the Czech word pohádka because "fairy tale" is at best an unsatisfactory equivalent).
		I'm not sure exactly when the first pohádka in the generally understood sense was made, but the two part film Císařův pekař a pekařův císař (The Emperor's Baker and the Baker's Emperor, 1951), written by and starring the great Jan Werich, must be a hot candidate.
		Jan Werich returned to the screen in yet another classic, also directed by Zeman, Byl jednou jeden král (Once Upon a Time there was a King, 1954).

		When Ježek met playwrights/comedians Jan Werich and Jiří Voskovec (aka George Voskovec), leaders of the Osvobozené Divadlo (Liberated Theatre) in Prague, he took up the post as main composer and conductor.
		During the next decade, he composed incidental music, songs, dances, ballets for the grotesque political satirical plays of Voskovec and Werich.
		Forced to leave Czechoslovakia following the Nazi occupation, Ježek, Voskovec and Werich went into exile in New York City.

	London Film Festival - Jan Werich’s Fimfárum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Adapted from five fairy stories by the Czech actor-comedian and writer Jan Werich (1905-80), this new feature film from Aurel Klimt and Vlasta Pospíšilová follows in the great tradition of Czech puppet film.
		Klimt, the strongest new talent in the world of puppet film (his work includes The Fall and Maschkin Killed Koschkin) here combines forces with veteran Pospíšilová, who worked with Švankmajer on films such as Jabberwocky and Dimensions of Dialogue.
		The appeal of the five stories, which combine classic animation with the expressive vision of artists Petr Poš and Martin Velíšek, is reinforced by the use of Werich’s own narration taken from his classic audio recording.

		Five of beloved Czech storyteller's cautionary adult fairytales are brought beguilingly to life in puppet animation anthology "Jan Werich's Fimfarum," that final part of the title being a mischievous nonsense word upon which one of the stories hinges.
		While a pair of these shorts dated 1987 and 1991 may already have done the genre fest circuit, the five together comprise a sprightly, eye-catching work that will be well-received at fests, on the tube and in ancillary.
		Shorts are stitched together pleasantly by a jovial, live-action storytellerwhose face is never shown.
