Basis of Interpretation
I added discussion of the interpretation of the film without a reference. I did this because I saw the film in San Antonio in 1968, several times, and I remember that I, and other viewers discussed these interpretations. To many of us the film, at the time, seemed to be similar to, "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit," or, "The Magic Christian," in satirizing the paranoia of the middle class concerning the loss of social and economic status. Note that the introduction of the sexy woman into the middle class home is not unlike the plot device in, "The Seven Year Itch." I believed then and believe now that the satire of democracy interpretation was put forward to appease the Communist rulers of Czechoslovakia and was never intended by the authors to be taken seriously.
