Description
The great Sebastians : The mind-reading duo—the Great Sebastians—have been friends of Jan Masaryk, and had lunch with him the day before his death. Set in Prague, the year 1948. The new government in Czechoslovakia asks them to say publicly that Masaryk had been depressed and unhappy about his actions as head of the former government, and when the Sebastians refuse to do this, they are in trouble. They are hired to do their mind-reading act at the home of a Communist official who hopes show more to use them to uncover a traitor to his government; this backfires, and shortly they find themselves prisoners, with their life savings—in the form of a valuable postage stamp—in the hands of the enemy. After many ingenious intrigues an escape is, of course, managed (for this is a comedy) and even the postage stamp is retrieved, and the Sebastians dash for the border, carrying with them a reformed Communist who has decided that he would prefer life outside the Iron Curtain. show lessTags
