This thesis brings an insight to the production practice of commission with capitalist countries in Czechoslovak cinematography during the communist era. One particular example is the most successful commission movie, Amadeus. The production of the film was very specific because of the director Milos Forman - American citizen with Czech origins, returned to his native country as a successful Hollywood director. This paper wants to examine the official position of the state, which was that emigration was forbidden and the director had to negotiate terms with the political leaders. In itself a clash of two different worlds, two different codes of ethics and two different life styles while rooted in the same culture. This situation caused incidents of misunderstanding sometimes even absurd moments. This work primarily deals with the 'Czechoslovak stance' throughout the stages of creation, from the concept of the movie to preparations, negotiation of film locations in Prague, selection of the crew, actors, making the costumes, up to the shooting itself. Hence the focus is especially on complicated negotiations with Tyl Theatre and Archbishop's palace. Furthermore presence of Forman aroused a special interest from the Secret Police.
