Death in the Saddle (1959)

[Rudolf Jelínek, Eduard Dubský, Radovan Lukavský, Jirí Sovák]

Czechoslovakia. Original title: Smrt v sedle. On the state stud-farm, Tomás (Rudolf Jelínek) is preparing to become a jockey together with other boys. He loves to read cowboy stories and Western pulp magazines and his passion makes him a laughing-stock of his friends and pretty Vera, his coach's daughter. Tomás looks for refuge with aging jockey Kosina (Eduard Dubský) and listens in admiration to his tales of old jockey glory. He doesn't suspect that Kosina had to leave the racecourse because of fraud and that he is still looking for ways to get easy money.

At 24:24, a man does some rope tricks outdoors for 36 seconds.

At 29:35, we see a plate spinning on a stick, done by a stand-in.

At 29:54, someone pretends to juggle 3 wine bottles, but they are actually juggled by a stand-in.
