Sidetracked

Ostre sledované vlaky (Closely watched trains)

(1966)
Ah, the standard coming (as it were)-of-age story: young Czechoslovakian station dispatcher is menaced by Nazis and premature ejaculation. Actually, merely impotence, but the filmmakers accurately sensed that in any language, "premature ejaculation" is funnier.

I'd had this on my DVR hard (as it were) drive for more than 2 years, and why I'd never watched it before I don't know, but in doing so, I got a jump on my 2011 New Year's resolution, about which more . . . well, in 2011, duh.
