description: TRANSLATED from the POLISH. STATED FIRST PRINTING. 1984 Lorrimer Publishing trade paperback, British import. Andrzej Wajda (Double My Life in Film). Three screenplays of films by Polish director Andrzej Wajda. "A Generation" screenplay by Bohdan Czeszko based on his novel, produced 1955. "Kanal" story and screenplay by Jerzy Stefan Stawinski, produced 1957. "Ashes and Diamonds" screenplay by Jerzy Andrzejewski based on his novel, produced 1958. The three films were all set during the World War II German occupation and were successful in the American market during the 1960s foreign film boom. "Kanal," a gripping, documentary-like story of the Warsaw uprising, was the most popular although all three of Wajda's films did well in the U.S. market at a time when audiences were more tolerant of films with subtitles. - Amazon
