There exist three film adaptation of the brave soldier Švejk made in Czechoslovakia (and one animate version). The first two were made before WW II (one is mute). The third adaptation with Rudolf Hrušínský is by far the best. The first part called Dobrý vojak Švejk deals with Švejk's coming to the army and his short hospitalization in a mental house. Then he is assigned as a servant to lieutenant Lukáš and soon after he becomes a nightmare for him. Lukáš asks Švejk for a dog and Švejk steals one, but it turns out that the dog belongs to a high officer, who consequently sends both Lukáš and Švejk to the Russian front. Švejk misses a train to the front and walks from Prague to Budweis. On the way he experiences various adventures and in one village he is also prisoned by policemen and regarded as a Russian spy. In the end he reaches Budweis and frightens his lieutanant, who hoped that Švejk had died.
