Even as a schoolboy, Müller was interested in the then still relatively new medium of film. He often went to the cinema and was also interested in the projection room. Later he visited the Lette-Haus in Berlin with its training facilities for optics, film and photo technology.

Following a documentary about his hometown Lüdenscheid and recordings for the weekly newsreel , his first self-directed film Aufruhr der Herzen was released in 1944 with Lotte Koch , Rudolf Prack and OE Hasse in the leading roles. Were after the end of World War II, when the Berlin studios mostly destroyed, he turned with Käthe Haack , Paul Dahlke and Lutz Moik among others Burg Altena the film and find we one day meet again ... .

According to his own assessment, his greatest success was the film adaptation of the opera Zar und Zimmermann (1956), which was followed by another operetta film, Mazurka der Liebe (1957). With his last film, Triplets on Board with Heinz Erhardt , Müller celebrated yet another great success with the public.
