Who Wants to Kill Jessie?

Kdo chce zabít Jessii?

Václav Vorlícek

A gorgeous comic-strip heroine is catapulted into the real world — along with the dastardly cartoon villains out to get her — in this hilarious, visually inventive postmodern comedy.

Note

A husband-and-wife team of scientists has been working on developing a dream manipulator which will supposedly produce happier, more productive workers by exorcizing their bad dreams and affording them a good night's rest. However, it soon becomes clear that the invention does not only banish dreams, but brings them out of the dreamer's mind into the real world — which the husband discovers when he wakes from a comic book-inspired nightmare to find himself in bed with blonde bombshell cartoon heroine Jessie (Olga Schoberova), who has been pursued into the real world by the caped supervillain and gunslinging cowboy who want to kill her. Václav Vorlícek's hilarious, visually inventive postmodern comedy benefits considerably from the casting of the stunning Schoberova, Czechoslovakia's first Playboy model (from the epochal "Girls from Behind the Iron Curtain" issue) and later the star of the Hammer Films potboiler The Vengeance of She.
