1969's "Prague Nights" is an anthology film, something like a "Tales from the Darkside" with a little sex comedy attitude. It's not out to frighten viewers, merely looking to beguile them with four stories of temptation gone wrong, each dipping into fantasy as a way to jazz up otherwise plodding morality tales. Directors Jiri Brdecka, Milos Makovec, and Evald Schrom attempt to conjure a magical mood for the picture, using all kinds of moviemaking tricks and artful heft to generate a surreal mood for the feature, which doesn't always win with storytelling intent, but remains fascinating with its impressive visuals.
