Her reply was: "Go find a good doctor." The audience, which guessed what doctor was meant, roared with laughter. The Little Doctor hurriedly withdrew the film. An added quirk to the situation was the fact that the Czech leading lady, Lida Baarova, was a particularly admired protegee of Dr. Goebbels.
