Fun and engaging, this classic Polish heist movie, originally released in 1981, takes place in Depression-era Lodz, where the renowned and dignified thief Henryk Kwinto gets out of prison--where he was imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit--and plans to pull off one last heist for revenge on the man who framed him. Juliusz Machulski's stylish direction and terrific script provide the perfect vehicle for his father Jan's sterling performance as Kwinto.
