Tezky zivot dobrodruha / Hard life of an adventure DVD
Synopsis
In the audience-favorite comedy from Martin Frič in 1941, a recurring concept unfolds: Karel Kryšpín, an author of lowbrow detective literature, is unexpectedly confronted with his own creation - in this case, his novel's protagonist, the gentleman thief Fred Flok. Fred Flok unexpectedly appears in Kryšpín's apartment, turning his peaceful life upside down. He becomes embroiled in a money and jewelry theft, battles a gang of criminals, and protects a defenseless girl. Essentially, he gets to experience firsthand all the nonsense that week after week feeds readers of cheap detective magazines... The screenplay was co-written by Josef Gruss and Karel Steklý, featuring stars of the era, including Ladislav Pešek, Otomar Korbelář, Jaroslav Marvan, and Adina Mandlová. The film includes the songs Sám já chodívám rád and Každý musí někdy něco mít by Eman Fiala, performed by R. A. Dvorský and Lišáci.

Advokat chudych / Advocate of the poor DVD
Synopsis
Kind-hearted Kypr, a clerk in a law office, takes care of the orphan Anna Maria and spends his evenings at the U Hrubiána tavern, where he assists the poor and helpless with various legal problems. While Anna Maria finds success as a singer, the aging man grapples with mounting issues stemming not only from his work as an advocate for the poor but also from a tragic past shrouded in mystery, which resurfaces after years. A mysterious woman appears at the U Hrubiána tavern, startling Kypr, and the café owner, Turba, reveals Kypr's former identity and accuses him of murder. The story of investigating judge Kilián and the tragic death of his friend Remeš come to light. Despite friends and acquaintances turning away from Kypr, something doesn't add up in the whole story. It soon becomes clear that the secrets revealed by Turba are incomplete, and the truth may look different after all.
