About The Criminal and the Lady
Young Małgorzata leads a very boring life as a cashier. One day a robber riddles her bank car with bullets, kills the driver and two security guards and takes the money. The police finds out that the stolen banknotes are being spent at a fashionable spa resort. The only way to find the criminal is to favor Małgorzata with a seaside holiday in the company of a handsome Captain as her brother.
Directed by Janusz Nasfeter, The Criminal and the Lady leans on a strong ensemble — Ewa Krzyżewska, Zbigniew Cybulski, Edmund Fetting — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1963.
