Jana M @RT29465884 03/19/2024 Though it might not be as grand and impressive as "The Emperor and the golem", this one is another classic with Jan Werich. Based on the fairy tale "Salt over gold", it's a cute little humorous tale. The best part is the comedic duo of the king and his advisor. See more Read all reviews
