The Marriage of Convenience

Directed by Stanisław Bareja

With Elżbieta Czyżewska, Daniel Olbrychski, Bohdan Łazuka, Hanka Bielicka and Alicja Bobrowska

Joanna, the daughter of quite wealthy traders from the Różycki bazaar, is in love with Andrzej, a young, talented, but poor painter. However, the girl's father, Kazimierz Burczyk, decides to find a suitable husband for her himself. A shrewd tradesman, unwilling to disclose his income, searches for a candidate whose professional position would justify his possession of a villa, a car and many other material possessions. In the end, his choice falls on Andrew, who is unsuccessfully trying to sell paintings under the walls of Warsaw's Barbican.
