Colonel Kwiatkowski

1996 · 2h 3m · Comedy, History

IMDb 7.0

Skip it. This Polish comedy sounds like a creaky mid-century relic with a paper-thin plot that hinges on a tired mistaken-identity premise set against post-WWII rubble—feel-good vibes can't save a movie this narratively thin, and without any critical support to suggest it's a hidden gem, there's no reason to spend your evening here.

Plot

Military doctor Kwiatkowski, serving in a barracks hospital on the Western Territories, is rewarded with a week’s leave after successfully operating on Colonel Kiziora of the UB. He and his friend steal a truck bound for Warsaw, where among the ruins of his former home he meets his prewar neighbor Krysia, instantly falls in love, and, after a brawl with a Russian officer at a dance in the surviving “Polonia” hotel, pretends to be a high-ranking UB colonel to save face.

Director: Kazimierz Kutz
