Hubal

The film begins after the campaign of 1939. Poland has come under occupation by then. Major Henryk Dobrzański refuses to surrender. His code name is Hubal. He chooses to stay at the head of his unit. He begins to wage guerrilla war in the forest. That resistance is counted among the first guerrilla actions of the war. The account follows the daily life of the unit. Marches, raids and long waits appear in the film. Winter conditions are part of the account too. Jan Józef Szczepański wrote the script and Wojciech Kilar composed the music. Ryszard Filipski and Małgorzata Potocka take the leads in Bohdan Poręba’s Polish film of 1973.
