Reviews

"Staged by Jaroslav Hasek's literary models, stylistically inconsistent, but mostly entertaining military fluctuation."

- film service

"Peter Alexander, as a stupid recruit, grossly desecrates the memory of Jaroslav Hašek, while director Liebeneiner has apparently forgotten to direct."

- Heyne film dictionary
