Gypsies
About Gypsies
A Venetian gondolier, after a love affair goes wrong, goes to Bohemia for revenge. Other characters meet him in one place at the end. The film is from Karel Hynek Mácha's 1835 novel Cikáni. Hugo Svoboda, Olga Augustová, and Theodor Pištěk star.

More about Gypsies
Karl Anton wrote and directed. Karel Kopřiva photographed it. The Venice prologue uses the streets, lagoons, gondolas, and the sea. The Czech scenes were shot around Kokořín castle. Wikidata times it at 84 minutes. The English Wikipedia pairs it with Anton's later silent The May Fairy as an early lyric strain in Czech cinema. A copy is on the Internet Archive.
