Description: A bassist shows up early for the betrothal ball of a beautiful princess, and whiles away the time having a dip in the river. The princess is doing the same, unbeknownst to the bass player, but when someone steals their clothes, the bass player helps the princess to preserve her dignity by transporting her back to the castle in his bass case, and along the way they discover they have feelings for each other. Based on a short story by Anton Chekhov.

There is also a stop motion puppet film of the story, made by Jiri Trnka.
I have the official DVD release but this print actually looks much better. Thanks RL!
Thanks very much! – this is an absolute chestnut which (hint, hint) you might follow with The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It (1977).
Andrew Sachs (Manuel) on a serious role there, such a lovely humorous short only John Cleese (and wife) would deliver.
Commentary is with co-producers David King and Ian Gordon.
Polly doing full frontal nudity, Count me in. Many thanks
