Cast: Tadeusz Lomnicki,Urszula Modrzynska, Tadeusz Janczar. 83min. Poland 1954.
Wajda’s powerful debut drew on his own wartime memories as it depicts the establishment of an anti-German resistance group whose members are mostly teenagers (one played by the young Roman Polanski). Gripping setpieces, including a shootout on a spiral staircase, show a confidence belying Wajda’s inexperience. The overt pro-Communist propaganda elements can be forgiven as a universal obligation imposed on Polish film-makers at the time.
