Other works

(1965) Unproduced screenplay "Vezen ze satelitu Y-R" ("A Prisoner from the Satellite Y-R"), also known as "Zakázaný ostrov" ("The Forbidden Island") co-authored with Milos Macourek, Franco Solinas and Josef Nesvadba. A horror story based on Josef Nesvadba's short story 'The Second Island of Dr. Moreau', which was supposed to be a co-production with U.S. producer Samuel Z. Arkoff, who eventually considered the script to be "too artsy" for an average American audience and "too bloody" for the strict American rating system. The project was then discussed with a different, this time Italian producer, but it never materialized.

(1960s) Unproduced screenplay "Six Wives of Henry Smith" co-authored with Milos Macourek. It was a comedy commissioned by an American hotel chain owner about a man who has a different girlfriend in each hotel, and of course neither knows about the other. The project failed after the producer declared bankruptcy.

(1962) Unproduced screenplay "Plán Gulliver" ("Plan Gulliver"), co-authored with Milos Macourek and Josef Nesvadba. It was supposed to be a big-budget two-part sci-fi comedy about the invention of shrinking scissors, which are used to shrink one country's army to the size of a matchbox and invade a neighboring country. The main characters of Egon (a role written for Vlastimil Brodský) and his girlfriend Marta (Jana Brejchová) were then supposed to shrink themselves via the scissors, get inside the head of a fanatical general and influence his behavior from the inside to save the day. The project ended due to the technical complexity of the special effects required. Milos Macourek later radically reworked the idea and wrote it as a six-part miniseries, Hamster in a Nightshirt (1988), directed by Václav Vorlícek.

(1969) Unproduced screenplay "Jezte bonbony Felix" ("Eat Felix Candies"), co-authored with Milos Macourek. It was a psychedelic comedy about what would happen if LSD was accidentally added to commercially sold candy.
