Background: Born in Prague, Czech Republic (then part of the Austro Hungarian empire) Friml showed aptitude for music at an early age. He entered the Prague Conservatory in 1895, where he studied the piano and composition with Antonin Dvorak. Friml was expelled from the conservatory in 1901 for performing without permission.
Context: Friml wrote his most famous operettas in the 1920s. In 1924, he wrote Rose-Marie. This operetta, on which Friml collaborated with lyricists Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto Harbach and co-composer Herbert Stothart, was a hit worldwide, and a few of the songs from it also became hits including "The Mounties" and "Indian Love Call". The use of murder as part of the plot was ground-breaking among operettas and musical theatre pieces at the time.  After Rose-Marie's success came two other hit operettas, The Vagabond King in 1925, with lyrics by Brian Hooker and William H. Post, and The Three Musketeers in 1928, with lyrics by P. G. Wodehouse and Clifford Grey, based on Alexandre Dumas's famous swashbuckling novel. In addition, Friml contributed to the Ziegfeld Follies of 1921 and 1923.  Friml wrote music for many films during the 1930s, often songs adapted from previous work. The Vagabond King, Rose-Marie and The Firefly were all made into films and included at least some of Friml's music. Oddly enough, his operetta version of The Three Musketeers was never filmed, despite the fact that the novel itself has been filmed many times. In 1930, he wrote a new operetta score for film, The Lottery Bride. Like his contemporary, Ivor Novello, Friml was sometimes ridiculed for the sentimental and insubstantial nature of his compositions and was often called trite. Friml was also criticized for the old-fashioned, Old World sentiments found in his works. Friml's last stage musical was Music Hath Charms in 1934. During the 1930s, Friml's music fell out of fashion on Broadway and in Hollywood. CANNOTANSWER
Question: Did he work on anything else?

Answer:
Friml wrote music for many films during the 1930s, often songs adapted from previous work.
Bakgrund: Född i Prag, Tjeckien (då en del av Austro ungerska imperiet) Friml visade tidigt lämplighet för musik. Han inträdde 1895 i Prags konservatorium, där han studerade piano och komposition med Antonin Dvorak. Friml uteslöts ur konservatoriet 1901 för att ha uppträtt utan tillstånd. Sammanhang: Friml skrev sina mest kända operetter på 1920-talet. 1924 skrev han Rose-Marie. Denna operett, på vilken Friml samarbetade med lyrikerna Oscar Hammerstein II och Otto Harbach och medkompositören Herbert Stothart, var en hit världen över, och några av låtarna från den blev även hits bland annat "The Mounties" och "Indian Love Call". Användningen av mord som en del av intrigen var banbrytande bland operetter och musikteaterstycken på den tiden. Efter Rose-Maries framgångar kom två andra hitoperetter, The Vagabond King 1925, med texter av Brian Hooker och William H. Post, och De tre musketörerna 1928, med texter av P. G. Wodehouse och Clifford Grey, baserade på Alexandre Dumas berömda swashbucklingroman. Dessutom bidrog Friml till 1921 och 1923 års Ziegfeld Follies. Friml skrev musik till många filmer under 1930-talet, ofta låtar anpassade från tidigare verk. Vagabondkungen, Rose-Marie och The Firefly gjordes alla till filmer och inkluderade åtminstone en del av Frimls musik. Märkligt nog filmades aldrig hans operettversion av De tre musketörerna, trots att själva romanen har filmatiserats många gånger. 1930 skrev han ett nytt operettpartitur för film, Lotterybruden. Liksom sin samtida, Ivor Novello, blev Friml ibland förlöjligad för sina kompositioners sentimentala och oansenliga natur och kallades ofta trite. Friml kritiserades också för de gammaldags, Gamla världens känslor som finns i hans verk. Frimls sista scenmusikal var Music Hath Charms 1934. Under 1930-talet föll Frimls musik ur modet på Broadway och i Hollywood. CANNOTANSWER Fråga: Arbetade han på något annat? Svar:
