About Man - Woman Wanted
Stanisław Maria Rochowicz, a bumbling art historian, is falsely accused of stealing a painting. The alleged thief faces five years in prison. Desperate, he decides to hide in disguise as a woman until he can paint a copy of the stolen canvas. Lacking means to live, he takes jobs as a maid for a variety of colorful characters.
Directed by Stanisław Bareja, Man - Woman Wanted leans on a strong ensemble — Wojciech Pokora, Jolanta Bohdal, Mieczysław Czechowicz — 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 1973.
