Obraz
Popular English author Jerome Klapka Jerome and his humorous novel Three Men in a Boat have been a success with readers of all generations since their creation. The classic story about hanging a picture inspired director Martin Frič to make a small comedy called The Picture in 1964. The viewer can still judge what it looks like when the head of a typical bourgeois family of the early twentieth century takes on the all-important task of hanging a picture.
