Description

In these hit comedies, Poland's most popular screen actor, Jan Machulski, plays the legendary bandit Kwinto. In Vabank (1981, 105 mins.), a burglar framed by an accomplice is finally released from jail and plots to get even. He finds the rat has somehow wormed his way into the position of bank president. The veteran safecracker recruits some young guns to help him in his battle with the bogus banker in this highly original comedy. In Vabank II (1984, 101 mins.), the suave thief's long-time enemy Kramer escapes from prison to get even, and Kwinto calls upon his old gang to meet the threat. Set in the 1930s, this sequel features Machulski matching wits against everyone from crooked bank managers to Nazi border guards. In Polish with English subtitles.
