Summary/Abstract: The author looks at the Polish-Czechoslovak co-production “What Will My Wife Say to This?” (“Co řekne žena”, dir. Jaroslav Mach, 1958) through the lens of production and culture. This article presents methodology that enables the study of co-production in the socialist countries. Further the author presents the main determinants of Polish-Czechoslovak cooperation in the years of 1948-1958. The analysis of the making of the film “What Will My Wife Say to This?”, the first post-war Czechoslovak-Polish co-production, shows the making of a film as a field of clashing of conflicting aspirations and interests.
