Nezval's The Bartered Bride
The text is a contribution to the issue of "silent" film opera and traces the process of adaptation and production history of the unrealised film version of Smetana's The Bartered Bride, which was converted into a film script in 1941 by Vítězslav Nezval. The production history of the project presents the contemporary debate inside the film industry about the possibilities of adaptation and the topic of national production in the context of the Protectorate film.
