Query about film (Folklore in Film and Lit.)

[Martin Votruba]

The West Slavic region has its perennial fascination with the folk 
legend(s) of Janosik:


1921 Janosik, dir. Jaroslav/Jerry Siakel, Slovakia/Czechoslovakia and 
USA

1935 Janosik, dir. Martin Fric, Slovakia/Czech R./Czechoslovakia

1963 Janosik I and II, dir. Palo Bielik, Slovakia/Czechoslovakia

1974 Janosik 1-13, dir. Jerzy Passendorfer, Poland (TV series)

1974 Janosik, dir. Jerzy Passendorfer, Poland (movie from TV series)

1976 Jurko the Highwayman, dir. Viktor Kubal, Slovakia/Czechoslovakia 
(animated, silent with a soundtrack of folk music)

1975 Pacho the Highwayman of Hybe, dir. Martin Tapak, 
Slovakia/Czechoslovakia (a spoof on the representations of the folk 
legend)


Almost all have been subtitled in English (that's "intertitled" for 
the first one and there's practically no language in the cartoon).
