[on
Cerni myslivci (1945)]: "At the end of 1944, we went to Stary Knin for exteriors for the film. We never finished it. The end of the war came, the work was interrupted and unfortunately we never went back to it. We couldn't understand why and we regretted it very much. It was not at all 'a sentimental, untelling story', as we were told. On the contrary! And the results of our work so far with the beautiful camera by
Václav Hanus were extremely promising. Even when
Martin Fric and I filmed
13. revír (1946), we always returned to 'Black Hunters' at least in passing."
