LEMONADE JOE (LIMONÁDOVY JOE ANEB KONSKÁ OPERA) Czech Literature in Czech Film

At the Trigger Whiskey Saloon, bad girl Tornado Lou (Kveta Fialova) sings, and temperance crusader
Olga Schoberova (a Playboy cover girl) is menaced by the hard-drinking baddies, when to
the rescue rides white-hatted Karel Fiala as Lemonade Joe! Hilarious parody of the Western (the
last hall of the Czech title means “or horse opera”), with the teetotaling Joe, the local Kola Loca
lemonade rep, shooting the pants off bullies, fainting every time he tastes whiskey, and ultimately
being tormented by mustachioed villains spattering his impeccably white attire with-the
horrorl-ink and huckleberry jam.
