Commentary:
This very popular romantic comedy, Prekobrojna, was the first of Bauer’s excursions to Serbian film and his first film that was shot in cinemascope. This excursion was somewhat forced by circumstances since no one had shown any interest for it in Jadran Film of Zagreb. In this charming film Bauer once again proved himself an outstanding director of actors. Bauer launched many young and previously little-known (Milena Dravić) or nearly unknown (Ljubiša Samardžić) actors to stardom in this film. At the Pula Film Festival Prekobrojna won the third award as Best film and the Golden Arena for Best Actress. It was shown at the film festival in Karlovy Vary.
