Accused (Czech: Obžalovaný) is a 1964 film directed by Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos. The film won a Crystal Globe at 1964 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
Plot
Three men are taken to the District court - Chairman Kurdrna, Engineer Potůček and Bureaucrat Zelenka. They are accused of stealing national property. Zelenka and Potůček are guilty and confessed. Kudrna on the other hand refuses guilt. He didn't steal any of the property and didn't know about actions of the other two. He is shocked when he finds out that his deputy Ludl who was responsible for finances committed suicide due to his guilt. He eventually realises that he is also responsible because he signed some illegal premies without reading those. Zelenka and Potůček are sentenced to a long time in prison while Kudrna's sentence is low and correspondents with his custody but Kudrna feels guilt and refuses avoiding punishment.
