PAN WOLODYJOWSKI (1969)--in Polish, soon to have English subtitles

PAN WOLODYJOWSKI is a 1969 Polish historical drama film directed by Jerzy Hoffman. The film is based on the 1887 novel of the same name in the Polish trilogy written by writer and Nobel laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz. Strange to notice that this book is the last in the trilogy but was filmed first.
The first novel was adapted in 1997, 28 years later by Hoffman. The film follows the further adventures of Polish colonel Michael Wolodyjowski, who is an important character in the two previous episodes of the trilogy. He recalled to active duty from a monastery and takes charge of Poland’s eastern frontier defenses against invading Tatar hordes and Ottoman armies in 1668–1672.

It was entered in the 6th Moscow International Film Festival, where Tadeusz Łomnicki won the award for Best Actor. The film was also serialized on Polish television, as The Adventures of Sir Michael (Polish: Przygody pana Michała).
