For this week’s Sunday Music Show, we’re celebrating the life and music of Karel Fiala, the charismatic Czech singer and actor, who was born on August 3rd 1925. His legacy is forever tied to one of the most popular films in Czech cinema: the unconventional Western ‘Lemonade Joe or The Horse Opera’ (Limonádový Joe aneb Koňská opera).

The film Lemonade Joe, from 1964, is a parody of Western movies that blends grotesque humour, moral satire, and numerous catchy tunes.
