What happens
The Talking Robe (Hungarian: A beszélő köntös) is a 1942 Hungarian historical fantasy adventure film directed by Géza von Radványi and starring Pál Jávor, Maria von Tasnady and László Szilassy. It was based on Kálmán Mikszáth's 1889 novel of the same title. It was shot partially in colour at the Hunnia Studios in Budapest. The film's sets were designed by the art directors István Básthy and Sándor Iliszi. It was the first Hungarian film with outdoor scenes utilising Agfacolor colour technology. It was distributed in Italy, Hungary's wartime ally, by Titanus. It was later remade as a 1969 film of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
