Description

An outrageous parody of classic Hollywood westerns, this musical comedy from Czech director Oldrich Lipsky draws on his previous work in animation to spoof and exaggerate the genre. Set in Stetson City, the story opens with a brawl in the Trigger Whisky Saloon. Silver-clad Lemonade Joe rides into town, bringing law and order-and lemonade-to the frontier, while rescuing Winifred Goodman from the clutches of Hogo Fogo. Throughout the film, characters burst into song at the slightest provocation, regaling audiences with such memorable tunes as "Do You See My Moist Lips?" and "When The Smoke Thickens in the Bar." One of the most novel films from the Czech New Wave, LEMONADE JOE is a comic gem and a clever homage to early Hollywood westerns.

Incredible Commie satire!.......2007-05-19

I just can't fathom how this is being treated as a "spoof on Westerns" when it's actually an overt and uproarious spoof on the West--one that would almost certainly work well with the Michael Moore crowd, except I doubt they would have ever encountered anything so perceptive AND so much fun before (and so well-scripted and crafted).

American directors who attempt this sort of social and political satire tend to sacrifice lightness-of-touch for over-earnest political point-making; in American hands a satire like Lemonade Joe would have eventually descended into un-funny grinding blackness or overreachings at profundity. Americans (like Moore) think that killing the fun is making the "point." I'm thinking of awful films like "C.S.A." and even Moore's "Canadian Bacon." Lemonade Joe is an excellent example of how to do engaging social criticism.

While watching it I also felt myself dearly missing the Commies. They were superb opponents for the West, consistently and accurately pointing out the flaws and hypocrisies of Western political and economic systems. Unlike the modern Left and the Politically Correct they believed in the idea of progress and made no apologies for cultures they saw as "backward"--Commies couldn't be cultural relativists. They also maintained Western intellectual traditions, finding their roots in their own cultural history. Again, they were incapable of throwing the cultural baby out with the bath-water, as many modern West-hating Leftists now do. Only a good Commie could have made a flick this good.

[Oddly, mainstream Hollywood often did a much better job at fun social criticism. Wilder's "One,Two,Three" immediately comes to mind and that film would be an appropriate companion to Lemonade Joe]

Not as funny in Czech.......2007-04-30

When I saw Lemonade Joe in the late 60's it was in English and was funny.

Although this DVD is region 1 for the US it is in Czech
and the only 2 options are 1) play movie or 2) scene selection.

I made a mistake assuming (yes I know) it would include the
English dubbing. No English dub is available.

Blazing Saddlesky.......2006-06-27

Watch this with Cat Ballou and Blazing Saddles to watch the old West go up in gun-smoke. Lipsky is a great director...

fantastic.......2004-07-30

One of the best czech comedies ever made (in 1964). DVD version contains full lenght (100 mins) widescreen 2.35:1, original czech language and english dubbing (partly subtitles due a shorten english dubbed version) - but only in Czech republic

Lemonade Joe is satirically funny, visually offbeat ,...........2003-04-28

"Lemonade Joe" is a movie that came out of Communist Czechoslovakia back in the 1960s. It's a brilliantly entertaining spoof on the genre of American Cowboy Westerns made during the 1920s thru 1940s period. I saw an excellent English dubbed in version of this film many years ago. Is this version available on video?
