This easy-to-take Hungarian drama is also known as Two Wishes. The prinicipal characters are a pair of juvenile delinquents, who may still be redeemable. The sullen duo is befriended by a kindly police inspector, who takes it upon himself to straighten out the boys. What follows cannot be termed surprsingly or innovative, though it is immensely satisfying. Of interest is the fact that a Communist-bloc film would admit to a delinquency problem in the so-called Worker's Paradise. Ket Vallomas was the Hungarian entry in the 1957 Cannes Film Festival.

Ferenc Molnar'ın romanına sadık kalınarak uyarlanan film, oyun alanları uğruna iki çocuk çetesinin sokak savaşını anlatır * Başına oturduğunuz zaman yaklaşık 2 saatlik sürenin nasıl geçtiğini anlamıyorsunuz. Beni çocukluğuma götüren bu filmin uyarlandığı Ferenc Molnar'ın o müthiş kitabı da öyle değil miydi zaten? Çocukluğumda bu kitabı kaç kere okuduğumu hatırlamıyorum. Her seferinde de son sayfalarında ağlardım. Kitap çok akıcı bir dille yazılmıştı, bizi (çocukları) anlatıyordu ve çok çabuk okunduğundan dolayı çoğumuza okuma zevki aşılamıştı * Pal Sokağı Çocukları'nın uğruna kavgalar verdikleri oyun arsası, tıpkı bizim çocukluğumuzdaki oyun arsaları gibi * İyi ki bu kitabı yazmışsın Ferenc Molnar ve iyi ki bu filmi çekmişsin Fabri. Ve iyi ki hayal dünyama girip, çocukluktan ergenliğe geçişimde kişiliğimin gelişmesine yardımcı oldunuz Nemecek, Boka, Feri Ats, Kolnay ve diğer sevgili Pal Sokağı Çocukları ile Kızıl Gömlekliler

'A Guest of life' is inspired by the journey of Alexander Csoma de Koros. The eccentric 19th century set out from his native Transylvania to central Asia on foot, only taking his knowledge of 13 dead and spoken languages with him. He wanted to find the ancestors of the Hungarians, but once reaching Tibet he stayed there, compiling an English-Tibetan dictionary, translating and abridging Buddhist teachings and literature, including the Book of the Dead. The film however is not a biopic, but a collection of impressions of Tibet, recorded on an 8mm camera, overlaid with excerpts from Csoma's diary and translations, spoken on the many languages familiar to Csoma. Intercut with the documentary-style footage are animated segments, which tell Transylvanian folktales that have been weaved around the legendary figure of Csoma.

The "sleepless years" in this propaganda piece by director Felix Marlassy occur on Csepel Island, an island south of Budapest that is home to an armaments factory. The factory workers are shown being exploited by imperialists, capitalists gone berserk, and fascists, more or less in that exact chronological sequence. The heavy-handed approach does much to undercut the belief that when socialism finally takes over, the lives of the workers are brought up to a human level. In this instance, audiences might prefer a more nuanced and subtle statement, no matter what the message.
