RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
pibwl I haven't heard about this film before, until I found it by accident on theme TV channel. It is probably difficult to find nowadays, though, especially outside of Poland. I started watching, and it happened to be a decent, intriguing, old-fashioned Hercules Poirot-style crime story, with art robbery, that turned to a mysterious murder. The action takes place in an old palace museum, far from inhabited places, and it takes one evening and a fateful night. A duo of police officers under cover of a married couple (with wedding rings borrowed from victims' possession deposit) travels to a museum, to prevent a planned theft of an old king's portrait. Surprisingly, they have to face a murder with a medieval weapon, ghost stories, and a mystery of copies of the painting. One of workers or guests must be a killer, and the duo, not specializing in murders at all, has to investigate the matter, until dawn. There are several Polish top actors of the period, including handsome police officer Andrzej Lapicki, and a femme fatale Kalina Jedrusik, in an appropriate role. Black and white cinematography and disturbing, carefully arranged music, help the feeling of mystery.
elsie10 Hi there, Don't you like these brilliant old crime stories set in some romantic sceneries? Watch the film "Gdzie jest trzeci krol" and you'll find this absolutely smashing atmosphere of mystery and investigation. This film goes straight to my "number ones" especially thanks to A. Lapicki and his perfect like-"Simon-Templar's" knowledge of facts and murderers. The film reminds me somehow of another fantastic Polish "Szatan z siodmej klasy" with the same classic plot. Perfectly written soundtrack and the screenplay ideally fits the location of the story- Kornik near Poznan. Hope you'll also enjoy this and put on this site some comments too .
