Czech Heritage Club welcomes public to view movie on May 17 The Czech Heritage Club welcomes the “Czech Country Community” to join them to view the Czech movie “The Good Soldier Schweik” at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17, in the upstairs meeting room of New Prague City Hall, 118 Central Ave. N. The movie is based on the legendary novel by Czech humorist Jaroslav Hasek. “The Good Soldier Schweik” mixes slapstick and satire to stand alongside “Catch 22” and “M*A*S*H” as a riotous commentary on the absurdity of war. Acclaimed Czech actor Rudolf Hrusinsky stars as the cheerful Schweik, a good-natured buffoon with a story for every occasion. After getting drafted into the Czech army during World War I, Schweik becomes an assistant to high-ranking military officials, and unwittingly wreaks havoc on the leaders of the 91st Infantry. The movie is in Czech with English subtitles.
