The Goalkeeper Lives on Our Street - Brankár bydlí v nasí ulici 1957

Original title: Brankár bydlí v nasí ulici // A boy dreams of winning an ice hockey game. Meanwhile, a professional hockey star moves into the neighborhood, offering his services as a goalkeeper--leading two rival teams of Prague schoolboys, The Little Lions and The Devil Street Boys, to fall over themselves in order to gain his favor. The goalie's son, basking in his father's glory, is asked to replace a member of the Lions team, prompting the usual boyish rivalries and battles. Some of the Lions players are so preoccupied with the impending "big game" that their schoolwork suffers, irritating their teachers and parents in the process. As you would expect, everything is resolved by the big game...

I remember this one. As a young hockey fan in the late 60s, I found it particularly interesting.

Funny thing is, I also remember it being dubbed into English, but maybe that wasn't from seeing it on CBS.

For all their failings, the Eastern Bloc did produce many great children's films.
