One Response to The Golden Fern (1963)

  1. Gene says:

    This film moves ahead kind of slowly, but is a really classic fable that will reward more patient viewers. Nice B&W cinematography. I’m definitely a fan of it. Recommended. Had no idea that Extras for it might eventually come to light, but that’s where Blu-Ray excels, and they will be most welcome. This is a from a good director, one of a few in CZ cinema first-named Jiri.
