Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Szczęśliwego Nowego Jorku
The Polish version of this article is not much better (it is longer but doesn't cite many sources), and I understand that most people here don't read Polish, but at least ask at WT:POLAND before. It is a major Polish film by a major Polish director (Janusz Zaorski), neither may be a household name, but they are both above-average, and obviously it will have a bunch of reviews and such ''in Polish'' - unfortunately most of it is not digitized or in hard-to-search Polish newspapers archives and like. It is mentioned in some English sources like https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=wReMBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA273&dq=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjWmrOo9MnrAhXJIqYKHbEjAd8Q6AEwAXoECAMQAg#v=onepage&q=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego%20Nowego%20Jorku%22&f=false (since the director is  notable, and that source notes it is one of his major movies). Some still-online reviews: https://film.interia.pl/wiadomosci/news-szczesliwego-nowego-jorku-przebojowa-komedia-i-egzystencjaln,nId,2445026, https://moviesroom.pl/recenzje/powrot-do-przeszlosci/495-powrot-do-przeszlosci-recenzja-szczesliwego-nowego-jorku/, https://www.telemagazyn.pl/artykuly/szczesliwego-nowego-jorku-film-recenzja-opinie-ocena-27705.html, https://film.wp.pl/szczesliwego-nowego-jorku-ma-juz-20-lat-w-kinach-byly-tlumy-6171012244350593g. Google Books gives plentyof hits: I cannot access more than a snippet but I think it has a review in the 1997 edition of Polish magazine about movies https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=irEqAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&dq=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiknrXI9MnrAhWNad4KHRr1AaAQ6AEwBnoECAkQAg, and another review from 1997 seems to be here: https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=WLXsAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&dq=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjerqyG9cnrAhVDQd4KHZpPCx84ChDoATADegQIABAB. There is also other coverage, https://www.tvp.pl/filmoteka/aktualnosci/szczesliwego-nowego-jorku-po-rekonstrukcji-w-tvp/9695576 (about the movie being restored by Polish state television), or mentions in lists like https://culture.pl/pl/artykul/25-filmow-na-25-lat-wolnosci (which is a Polish gov't sponsored site about a Polish culture). It seems to have its own section/review in this book https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=6asaAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&dq=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiknrXI9MnrAhWNad4KHRr1AaAQ6AEwAnoECAEQAg but sadly that magazine has digital archives from 1998 onward only right now (https://www.polityka.pl/archiwumpolityki); anyway this may not be just a review as the title suggests the article discusses a (negative) reception of the movie by US Polonia. Another book seems to have a two-page long discussion of the movie: https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=HH8SAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&dq=%22Szcz%C4%99%C5%9Bliwego+Nowego+Jorku%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjerqyG9cnrAhVDQd4KHZpPCx84ChDoATABegQIARAC. Google Scholar also shows many  hits, for example I see several paragraphs discussing this movie in https://rebus.us.edu.pl/bitstream/20.500.12128/13116/1/Copik_Na_zachod_i_z_powrotem_Migracje_w_kinie_polskim.pdf and a bunch of shorter mentions in several other academic works, overall the movie has been clearly subject to media and academic discourse about how people in Poland see Polish emigrants in the USA. I could throw more sources, but really, what needs flying here is a . PS. The article https://film.interia.pl/wiadomosci/news-mordy-zamiast-twarzy-czyli-szczuropolacy,nId,1807088 here discusses several reviews of the movie by known Polish movie criticis and notes it was a big box office hit in Poland of that time. PPS. There is one more in-depth academic article about the movie and the book it is based on but it seems not to be available online: https://polona.pl/item/portret-polskiego-emigranta-w-krzywym-zwierciadle-literatury-i-filmu-na-przykladzie,NTU5Njc4OTE/0/#info:metadata
