About This Movie

So, 'Him and His Sister' from 1931, directed by Karel Lamač, is an interesting blend of comedy and music, set against the backdrop of revue theatre. The humor is quite charming, especially with the postman Brabec, who delivers not just letters but a fair bit of wit. The pacing is methodical, letting the characters breathe and allowing the comedic bits to land nicely. The relationship between Brabec and his sister Anny adds a layer of sweetness and familial dynamics amidst the stage antics. Anny’s aspirations to break into the theatre world, while juggling her maid duties, brings in themes of ambition and longing. It's distinctive for its lightheartedness wrapped in a nostalgic theatrical atmosphere, a nice snapshot of early 1930s cinema.
