Set in swinging contemporary Prague this light drama centers on a hip-young newspaper photographer who takes an aerial photograph of a peaceful village and discovers that he has taken a picture of a murder in progress. His editor shows no interest in the photo, but Ondrej, the photographer, cannot forget it and so embarks upon his own investigation of the crime. This attracts the attention of Rychman, a powerful, corrupt businessman who pressures Ondrej for the negatives. When that fails, he attempts to convince the newsman that he only witnessed a harmless game of paint ball, not an actual shooting. Rychman then amiably invites Ondrej up for a posh party in his villa. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This well-wrought children's film is taken from a story about an arrogant princess by the Brothers Grimm. The princess Anna consistently laughs off her would-be suitors until one day she insults a king from a neighboring land by telling him his beard looks like a thrush. At that point, her father becomes so angry he forces her to marry the next man who shows up -- a beggar, as it turns out. Anna has no choice but to go live with the beggar as a poor and humble woman -- and to her credit, she realizes how arrogant she once was and regrets it very much. But the story does not end there, for Anna has a surprise waiting for her when the true identity of the beggar is revealed. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
