Pronunciation: The name Smetana has an emphasis that is similar to "retina".
Music used in From Bohemia's Woods and Fields: All the music heard in the film is by Bedrich Smetana - with two exceptions. 1. The film's opening black-and-white sequence uses Juventino Rosas's Uber den Wellen Waltz, which was very popular right across Europe at the time of the Czech composer Bedrich Smetana's death towards the end of the 19th century; the people of Prague hummed the waltz's words in the streets. 2. The film's opening funeral scene (again in black and white) is portrayed against the musical backdrop of the Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem.
