Strach (1963). Afterwards, he made
The Murderer Hides His Face (Vrah skryvá tvár, 1966) and
Po stopách krve (1969), which together with the two previous films makes sort of a trilogy of criminal films with Rudolf Hrusínský as detective Kalas. He directed many TV films and afterwards two more criminal films

Zítra roztocíme, drahousku... (1976),
'Já to tedy beru, séfe..!' (1977),
Já uz budu hodný, dedecku! (1979),
Co je doma, to se pocítá, pánové... (1980) and
