Ladislav Rychman

Ladislav Rychman was a Czech film director, who made the Czechoslovak musical comedies Starci na chmelu and Dáma na kolejích. Starci na chmelu is a light examination of adolescent morality and bureaucracy about a group of pre-teen boys and girls picking hops under school supervision. One boy builds a secret hideaway in an attic. When a schoolgirl finds him in his retreat, puppy-love blossoms, but a jealous classmate tells the teacher about the two friends, and they are suspended from school.
