Jessie, a busty blonde, is the stuff comic book dream women are made ofMar 10, 2009
By Richard J. Brzostek
"Who Wants to Kill Jessie?" is a film about a mild mannered professor and his wife who invents a serum to treatment nightmares. Her concoction is intended to make the person dream something more pleasant, but when she finds out her husband is dreaming about the comic strip Who Wants to Kill Jessie?, she injects him to change his dreams. However, she wasn't aware of the side effects of the injection, which is that elements of the nightmares come to life!
Jessie (Olga Schoberva), a busty blonde, is the stuff comic book dream women are made of. Just wearing a short dress and showing a bit of cleavage Jessie catches the eye of just about every man that sees her. Her cute expressions and overwhelming attractiveness adds liveliness to the film.
The two villains from the Jessie comic strip also come to life; the cowboy and a muscleman that resembles superman. Although they are now real, they still resemble the comics because they still talk in word balloons. The three are a shock to everyone and have the police chasing them in no time.
Although I thought the movie was loaded with great humor, one of my favorite parts was when the serum was being tested. The nightmare and dream of the test subject are hilarious, expectably since the subject is a cow. Her nightmare was about running backwards and being chased by flies while her dream was about eating flowers while lying in a hammock and having people play musical instruments for her.
"Who Wants to Kill Jessie?" is an original film that is a lot of fun. It is a movie that is a mixture of science fiction, comedy, mad science, and could even be considered a critique on controlling governments if one looks very deeply at it. I think this film is really fun because the humor doesn't let up.

I like FacetsJun 30, 2007
By Canyon
"Filmore"
Thanks to Facets video for making so many great Eastern European movies available. Though not souped up like Criterion, who cares. These films wouldn't be seen in the U.S. without Facets and nearly all of them are well respected, though not well known. Jessie is as offbeat as it gets, done by people who for a short time could get away with just about anything (no over controling government or studio). The results are inspired. And if you see just one Olga Schoberova movie in your life, it probably should be this one.
