So from my point of view, as a romanian, is that the Operation "The Monster" is a parody of the Romanian communist period. At the beginning are establishing a set of rules, stupid rules like in the communist period. After they are breaking those one by one and everyone is fearing not be seen by another one, like in the communism when you were afraid to say anything even to a friend or a neighbor because you aren't sure that is not working with the security! So, it's a genial parody wich was released IN the communist period when everything against the system was out for the public! 😂😂😂

Now this movie is simply awesome! It's by far the best ever produced in the history of romanian movies! Toma Caragiu's sublime acting make it unforgettable! Just imagine under what sort of circumstances the movie was made - ubiquitous communism! In a time where freedom of speech was simply utopian the actors simply overcome this imprisonment through subtle and subliminal commy jokes. The comprehensive understanding of this movie is limited to those able to overstand the romanian language as well as for the versed viewer and connoisseur of romanian history, which may count imho as the only drawback of the movie, apart from the poor audio/video quality - but hey, remember it's 1976 in communist Romania?!??? Well 'nuff said, but remember: don't even try to start a conversation about romanian movies if you didn't see this work of art!
Finesse is the word to characterize this movie. It was done in the year I was born, but I still enjoy it and I think it describes perfectly those times... I still wonder how it was possible for this movie to be made considering the fact the communism was at it's apogee in that era... The answer is either the finesse of the script, of the actors and everything was so wonderful that it just slipped past the censorship or the finesse was so sublime that even the censorship would have had a very difficult task to prove any criticism was brought to the system... Thas why I think this movie is one to remember... of course, there are other things of interest beside the subtle criticism of the system, which are very entertaining. The movie is about the relationship between people in the purest form and a lesson about what they are in every situation. Even in a vacation no one else know about, in the middle of the Danube Delta.
This is a great movie that's my opinion and I like it that much because it replicates very well the atmosphere of a fishing day in the Delta together with a group of great actors and a very nice storyline.It's a really good comedy, one of the best Romanian comedy's I've seen it many times but I always forgot to see who composed the music / soundtrack so, does anybody know who composed the music or the soundtrack of this movie?I'm interested especially about the final title(generic).I searched desperately on the internet and I haven't found anything, not a single complete archive or description of this movie containing info about the soundtrack. If someone could help me I'd thank you very much

I've seen this movie many times now, and I must tell you it is the best comedy movie ever made in Romania. Everything about it, is extraordinary. First of all is the acting; cast with THE GREAT Toma Caragiu; The are the jokes, intelligent and very funny; And I must say for a romanian movie this old it looks and sound great. See it!

- TriviaMark Cousins wrote about Operatiunea 'Monstrul' (1976): "Three great Romanian actors skewer pomposity in a much admired comedy with echoes of Milos Forman's Czech film Au feu les pompiers! (1967). Rarely seen outside Romania, it's a revealing treat." [Romanian Film Season in Edinburgh, 2015]
