Hilarious. Reminded me of the farcical tone and ineptitude of the Keystone cops and sense of anarchy of the Marx brothers. Superb political satire…

Milos Forman was such a genius to depict a wonderful story like that in only 73 minutes... I don't think any other director can ever do that…

Early film from director Milos Forman is an amiable and eccentric comedy of errors, though light on any real big laughs…

Review of The Firemen's Ball (1967)

By Variety Staff (1,156) for Variety (12,700) on 26 Mar 2009

Forman has cannily used a bevy of non-actors to flesh out a practically plotless vehicle, a lively, brimming comedy on human conduct and smalltown…

A bit humorous, although I'm not into the whole everything that can go wrong must thing. Yet it was banned in Czechoslovakia, so more power to it…
