The Hit
A 1951 Czechoslovak film about a screenwriter who discovers in horror that his village drama has been transformed into a musical show about increasing agricultural productivity.
Petr Čepek (16 September 1940 - 20 September 1994) was one of the most distinctive Czech actors of the second half of the 20th century. He was among the founders of Prague's Drama Club, where he performed from 1965 until his death, accumulating over 120 film roles across his career. His striking features and deep voice made him a natural fit for demonic and conflicted characters, though in private he was known for an uncompromising sense of honour. He received the Czech Lion Award for Best Actor posthumously for his dual role as Faust and Mephistopheles in Jan Švankmajer's Faust (1994).
Czech Radio Vltava broadcast a special program on the 30th anniversary of Čepka's death with the participation of his daughter Kristýna Čepková and actor Josef Abraham.
Czech Television included Čepka in the program Geyser on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death and recalled his over 120 film roles.
Blesk.cz and other media published extensive memorial texts on the 30th anniversary of Čepka's death, including memories from his daughter Petra.
Czech Radio Plus published an interview dedicated to Čepka's career, in which theater historian Jaroslav Vostrý recalled his key film roles.
