Jozef Tejchma took full responsibility for Man of Marble, and it is only owing to his influence that the film was made and, more important, released. His successors were younger politicians, former ZMP members, and we began negotiations with them from scratch. The generally hated Gomulka was deprived of his position as First Secretary, taking the cult of the fifties with him. What follows sounds like a fairy-tale, but it was true. Of course, no one even mentioned its cinematic value.įourteen years passed. Unfortunately, many "comrades", who wanted to demonstrate their Party alertness, had read our text and, as a result, the script had been banned for many years.
We managed to publish the script in the Warsaw weekly Kultura on 4 August, 1963, and Scibor believed that we had overcome at least one obstacle - censorship of the press. Unfortunately, this was where my initiative ended - from now on all depended on the Script Commission, or, precisely speaking, on the propaganda department of the Central Committee, as the subject of labour leaders touched upon the most embarrassing aspect of the socialist economy, namely, the steadily decreasing labour effectivity. And that is how I got the idea: Agnieszka, a young student of the film school, would try to uncover the mystery of the bricklayer's life.Ī few weeks later the script was ready I read it feverishly. Among the many talented students of the Lodz Film School was Agnieszka Osiecka. Of course, it had to be a young person, for whom the era of stalinism would belong to the distant past. But I was looking for a contemporary subject, so I needed a agent through whom I would be able to tell the whole story from today's perspective.
The labour leader, a bricklayer, was a hero of that period, the fifties. Scibor was then on his way to Zakopane, so I wrote a letter to him in which I attempted to elaborate on Jerzy Bossak's anecdote. Scibor-Rylski had been the scriptwriter for Ashes, and I knew that he had written a socrealist novel which I had never even tried to read I didn't know, however, that he had also written profiles of several famous brick-layers for the so called "Library of Leaders of Labour."īossak and Scibor used to be journalists and were familiar with the problem of labour leaders both from the official ideological standpoint and from conversations with the workers themselves, who hated this "labour race." We only needed an generating idea for the future film. It was not much to begin with, but our art director knew who could write a script based on this incident. Yes, he was a well known "labour leader", a brick-layer and an ex-star of the previous political season. One of the clerks, however, remembered the man's face. It all began with a minor anecdote, which Jerzy Bossak had read in a newspaper: A brick-layer had come to the employment office, but he was not given a job because Nowa Huta (a steel mill near Cracow - translator's note) now needed workers only for the foundry. After a short while, I found an appropriate subject. Jerzy Stawinski and Jerzy Bossak, whose impact on the Polish cinema of that time was enormous, were fantastic discussion partners. I needed to discuss this subject with others. In 1962, I began to consider a contemporary film addressed to the Polish audience.
