| Notes: | "The Good Soldier Švejk" shares the disc with "Poslušně hlásím" (" Beg to Report"). Special thanks to Nikoloki, a regular @ the Zóna discussion board, for making this here comparison possible! (c:Another eco-friendly - or "green" - release from the National Film Archive, and by that I mean the greenish tinge in the picture which the NFA refuses to admit is a problem of their own making...

Well, I'm sure you won't be surprised when you see the screenshots in our gallery that after the "additional remastering" the green tinge is mysteriously... gone!
