What a great photograph, I wonder what they were filming? I can’t help but notice the lack of safety features for those operating the camera.
What they were filming? “Happy Journey”, of course.

Perfect plug for that footage. However there are no cavalry horses and soldiers in “Happy Journey”. So the question remains…
Aaahh, thank you.
The camera operators are the most safe if going by safety standards of the time, they’re the only ones absolutely guaranteed to be flung safely away from the crashing car!
Lights! (..so bizarre)
Camera! (..”in the hood”, cute)
Action! (“We’re some Wild and Crazy guys!”)
hehehe

Was this the protective film we used to read about in the old motor oil ads?
Was there an advantage of a rear-engine car, or simply what was available in Czechoslovakia?
I suppose the camera had an unobstructed view from the frunk but if it worked really well there’d be plenty of behind-the-scenes pics of Corvairs set up like this in Hollywood in the ’60s and into the ’70s.
Now it occurs to me: it was the Frunkenstein movie!
“Move the engine to the rear”, said Novák, “we have to shoot”
The very moment that actor Bob Krane realised the folly of leaving Hogans Heros to make his directorial debut in “Go Tatri, Go” – the first (and only) film which sought to combine the nostalgia associated with stereotypical over-acting and troublesome French ‘expeditions’ in Eastern Europe. In this scene, key character Udo Boneparte waves at what he thinks are family members before realising they are actually the 29th Jäger Regiment. Hilarity ensues.
