Bohous

About This Movie

Bohous, a quirky little gem from 1968, captures the charm of a remote mountain inn with its offbeat humor and eccentric characters. Alois, the innkeeper, finds himself in quite the pickle with his giant Saint Bernard, Bohouš, and a particularly hungry guest. The pacing is leisurely, allowing moments of absurdity to breathe, which adds to its comedic effect. The interplay between Alois and the guest unfolds in a way that feels both spontaneous and distinctly scripted, even if the director remains a mystery. It’s a delightful slice of TV movie magic that revels in its own weirdness, showcasing some practical effects involving food and a surprisingly animated dog, leaving you chuckling long after it’s over.

Bohous has remained a bit of an obscure title over the years, not readily available in many formats, which adds to its allure among collectors. The scarcity of proper releases has led to a niche interest, with fans seeking out original VHS tapes or any archival footage. While it may not have the widespread recognition of other films from the era, its unique premise and offbeat humor make it a curious topic of discussion and a sought-after piece for those interested in vintage TV movies.
