About Chalk and Cheese
Rudolf Bartoš, the owner of a farm, quarry and factory, is extremely rich, however, he is unapproachable and irritable, and the dread of his employees. One day he falls down a steep slope by a river and hurts himself. The quarryman Fábera finds him groaning in pain and takes him to his cottage.
Directed by Vladimír Slavínský, Chalk and Cheese leans on a strong ensemble — Jindřich Plachta, Jaroslav Marvan, Jana Romanová — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1941.
