 Vlasta Burian, the King of Comedians, died 40 years ago - 31-01-2002 - Radio Prague
Thursday is the 40th anniversary of the death of Vlasta Burian, the most famous Czech actor of the 1930s and 1940s and a man known to Czechs as "The King of Comedians".
Vlasta Burian was born in 1891, and his acting career began in 1910, when he started performing in cabarets.
Eight years ago a court ruled that Burian had not after all collaborated with the Nazis and in 1999 Burian was named "The Czech Comedian of the 20th Century" in a poll of TV viewers.

"E. Burian (11th June 1904-9th August 1959) was what you might call a 'total' artist.
He was one of the first in Czech culture to pursue the idea of certain kind of gesamtkunstwerk, an approach that was later to be taken up in Laterna magica (Black Theatre), or Czech experimental film, for example.

This carries over into film and Nemcova fairy-tales have been the inspiration of several other Czech films, the most recent one dating from 1994.
Moreover, Jan Werich and Vlasta Burian are in fact major figures in Czech cultural history.

Starring: Vlasta Burian (Topka), Antonin Zacpal (the station master), Zita Kabatova (Julie), Jaroslav Marvan (the general inspector).
The general inspector stays at the station through the night and begins to tempt her, but Topka is open-eyed and he will even have merit in kicking the real station master upstairs.
This movie is regarded as the best comedy of Vlasta Burian and the most successful comedy of the 40's, so I list it here, but I said I am not a fan of his mostly infantile humour and I can't judge this opinion, because I don't understand his big popularity at all.

The first was in 1911, with the French film Les Aventures de baron de Munchhausen.
In 1940, Slavia Film produced Baron Prásil, starring Vlasta Burian as the lead (his name changed for reasons unknown, but clearly the same Baron).
In 1943, Hans Alber played him in Münchhausen, a German production made on the orders of Josef Goebbels - ironically the screenwriter was an author banned by the Nazis, who wrote the script under a pseudonym to get round this.

Even though these years were not easy for artists that the Communist regime found troublesome, designing movie posters provided them a space to create relatively freely.
