Ballad of the Whiskey Robber jellemzők
His rival: Lajos Varju, the Inspector Clouseau of the Iron curtain, whose knowledge of police work comes from Hungarian-dubbed episodes of Columbo.

As the Eastern bloc slips off its communist skin and replaces it with leopard-skin hot pants, Ballad of the Whisky Robber is here to screw in the pink lightbulbs.
