略歴
Herec Vladimír Ptáček byl rodákem ze středočeského venkova a profesionální pouť po českých divadlech zahájil hned po skončení války bez odborného vzdělání. Jeho první štací bylo Jihočeské divadlo v Českých Budějovicích, následovalo Beskydské divadlo v Hranicích na Moravě a Vesnické divadlo, které pořádalo zájezdová představení po celé republice. Na všech těchto scénách strávil Ptáček jen po jedné sezóně, načež působil v Městském divadle v Novém Boru a v Krajském oblastním divadle v Karlových Varech. Trvalé působiště nakonec našel v Pardubicích a na jevišti zdejšího Východočeského divadla hrál od roku 1955 až do svého předčasného úmrtí.
Celoživotní mimopražské angažmá do značné míry omezilo Ptáčkovy možnosti širšího uplatnění ve filmu, přesto jeho filmografie zahrnuje bezmála čtyřicet titulů a v šedesátých letech vystoupil hned v několika zásadních dílech československé kinematografie. Na filmovém plátně debutoval nevelkou postavou diverzanta v dramatu CESTA HLUBOKÝM LESEM (1963). V dnes již legendárním dramatu z konce války KOČÁR DO VÍDNĚ (1966) hrál partyzána, v páralovské adaptaci SOUKROMÁ VICHŘICE (1967) jsme jej mohli vidět v roli hostinského. Ve slavném filmu VŠICHNI DOBŘÍ RODÁCI (1968) se připomněl úlohou řezníka Rabona, nejdůležitější položkou v jeho práci před kamerou se pak stala postava Mlíkaře v Menzelově filmu SKŘIVÁNCI NA NITI (1969).
Kromě zmíněných snímků se jeho jméno objevuje i v titulcích dalších filmů různých žánrů, dnes již méně známých. V dekádě sedmdesátých let byl ke spolupráci pravidelně zván tvůrci dětských filmů a hrál například v dodnes populárních titulech jako DÍVKA NA KOŠTĚTI (1971) nebo PÁNI KLUCI (1975), menší role odehrál také v několika kriminálkách. Jeho poslední filmovou rolí byla postava mlynáře Budila v dnes již zapomenutém povídkovém filmu PLACHÉ PŘÍBĚHY (1982).
Vladimír Ptáček zemřel 5. prosince 1985 ve věku 59 let.
An allegory set in an archetypal Czech village, it tells of what happens when a sequence of mysterious events take place, including the disappearance of the stationmaster. While everything has a rational explanation, collective paranoia takes hold and everyone’s worst instincts are released. Interrogations, the abolition of rights and the search for scapegoats ultimately lead to murder
Mlíkar
In post-WWII Communist Czechoslovakia, several characters considered bourgeois are sentenced to work in a junkyard for rehabilitation. Among them is a young man who pines for a female convict.
Sunday in September 1977, a celebration of the Miners Day. The old Hepnar is sitting at the cemetery and is recalling events from ten years ago. That time the representative of the ministry Barvír announced at the miners meeting that mining in the mines would decrease. He reasoned this decision by the fact the deposits of coal are almost used up. The boss of the mine and most of the miners protested. Barvír did not take their critical objections into account. He announced at the communist district meeting the closure of the business as the mine according to new economic principles did not prosper.

Film by Toman and Gajer.
This feature film based on the events of 1938 is a chronicle of the futile efforts of the Czechoslovak president Edvard Benes (Jirí Pleskot), politicians and ordinary citizens, to save the independence and the territorial integrity of the state from the advance of Hitler's Germany. On the 29th of March 1938 the leader of the Sudeten Germans Henlein (Werner Ehrlicher) has a meeting with Hitler (Gunnar Möller). Hitler orders him to intensify pressure on the Czechoslovak government. On the 24th of April in Carlsbad, the Sudetendeutsche Partei (Sudeten German Party) decides upon eight demands that are unacceptable to the Czechoslovak President, since they would ultimately lead to the break-up of the Republic. Benes still shows a certain willingness to negotiate, and Henlein resents this. The Germans are determined to make further negotiations impossible through incidents and violence.

The title "All My Good Countrymen" is not without irony as this epic tale of Czech village life from shortly after the end of the Second World War concentrates on the activities of a group of friends who are not beyond reproach in siding with a politically corrupt regime for material advancement. Are these the "good countrymen" of the title or does it refer to the rest of the village who scorn these petty authority figure with silent contempt?

Part one finds a silent film actor upset because of a rival actor's attention to the former's wife. When he kills his rival, it is only when he is strapped to the electric chair that he realizes that this is his last live scene. The second episode has the wife of an elderly British nobleman having an affair with the young gamekeeper of their estate. Part three finds a peasant woman taking a lover when her husband goes off to fight the war.
