Jak Sammy o kalhoty přišel is this charming slice of 1960s Czech comedy with a unique flair. The film captures a whimsical atmosphere, as we see Sammy the chimpanzee at the center of a delightful birthday celebration. The pacing flows gently, allowing the audience to soak in the warm interactions and playful scenarios. It's fascinating how practical effects are cleverly employed to showcase the antics of Sammy, giving the film a tactile feel that’s somewhat rare in modern cinema. The performances are genuine, with a surprising depth, particularly from the non-human lead. There's a light-heartedness mixed with a pinch of absurdity, making it distinct in its approach to comedy, which stands out against more formulaic productions of its time.

Originally released in 1966, this film has remained relatively scarce in collector circles, especially outside of its home market.

Interest tends to come from both fans of classic Czech cinema and those intrigued by its quirky premise. For collectors, owning a piece of this unique comedic style offers a glimpse into the playful spirit of the era.
