About Where is the General?
Wacław Orzeszko is unlucky soldier, who one day decides to desert his platoon and hide out in a castle, where he meets a Red Army soldier Marusia. They discover that a German platoon is also hiding in a castle and together they must stop the Nazi soldiers from reuniting with the main army.
Directed by Tadeusz Chmielewski, Where is the General? leans on a strong ensemble — Elżbieta Czyżewska, Jerzy Turek, Bolesław Płotnicki — 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 comedy titles of 1964.
