Hot Enough for June; Cold War Prague


Just enjoyed watching "Hot Enough for June", an old (1964) spoof spy thriller (YouTube trailer), with Dirk Bogarde and Sylva Koscina; it's supposed to be set in Prague during the Cold War. Another scene.

It's based on Lionel Davidson's novel "The Night of Wenceslas", which I much enjoyed reading when I was serving in Prague (1986-1989), before the 'Velvet Revolution'. See below! It's high time this film was remade, as "The Night of Wenceslas", as a more dramatic thriller (less of a spoof), now that it can be shot in authentic Prague locations.





Not far from the Embassy, but no need to dress up as a Czech milkman
 calling out "Milko! or even mléko"
