When Clown Ferdinand enters an abandoned city in his wagon he ends up on a space rocket where he meets a robot that can turn invisible. This film reuses sets from Polák's Ikarie XB 1 (1963).
Practical Effects
Those recycled Ikarie XB-1 sets look incredible for a clown comedy.
Costume
Ferdinand's sad clown makeup in zero gravity hits different.
Director
Jindřich Polák
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Same year, same director, same sets—Polák made hard sci-fi Ikarie XB-1 AND this clown comedy. The duality of man.
Czechoslovak cinema loved sad clowns; this one's space-orphaned like a socialist Chaplin in orbit.
