The only fairy tale film to be banned was made from the drama written on the basis of Tamás Török’s folk tale A csillagszemű juhász (The Starry-eyed Shepherd). The tyrant king throws the disobedient shepherd into his dungeon because the lad refuses to say ‘bless you’ when royalty sneezes. However, the beautiful princess helps him escape and he then sets about outsmarting everyone. His magic flute sets the entire regime dancing into the bottomless well where the wealthy have hidden their ill-gotten gains. This satirical parable was the final film part played by tragically fated Imre Soós.
