Frič is considered one of the most prolific filmmakers in the history of Czechoslovakian cinema, having directed and contributed to over 100 films during his career. He was best known for his comedies and musicals, which often featured lively music, dance sequences, and fast-paced dialogue.

His first film as a director was the 1926 silent film "A Dead Man Among the Living", which was followed by a string of successful films, including "The Bartered Bride" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor".
During World War II, Frič was banned from filmmaking by the German occupation forces, but he continued to work underground and even helped produce anti-Nazi propaganda films. After the war, he returned to filmmaking and continued to work prolifically until his death in 1968.
