The fourth collaboration between director Václav Vorlíček and screenwriter Miloš Macourek was The Girl on the Broom in 1971. This modern comedy fairy tale charmed audiences of all ages with its intelligent humour, imaginatively designed trick scenes and a varied cast, in which experienced actors (Vladimír Menšík, Helena Růžičková) meet artists of the emerging generation (Petra Černocká, Jan Kraus). This playful tale of the rebellious witch Saxana, who escapes from the realm of magic to normalized Czechoslovakia, is, like other films by the popular creative duo, based on an ingenious clash of the laws of two diametrically opposed worlds. The Girl on the Broom has been seen by over two million people in domestic cinemas, making it one of the most successful titles in Vorlíček and Macourka's filmography.
