Release
Released on 20 January 1958, the film is Has's debut feature film and regarded as one of the most interesting film adaptations of Marek Hłasko's work and actor Gustaw Holoubek's first great work.[2] The film's cynical vision ensured that communist authorities in Poland did not give it permission to be shown abroad.[3]
