Kto by śmiał kłam zadawać, iż w Roku Pańskim Anno Domini 1969 nie było żadnych fanowskich gadżetów z cudownego filmu "Pan Wołodyjowski", tego pozywam na walkę konną albo pieszą!

21 luty 1971 r.

Jeden z pierwszych, jeśli nie pierwszy, artykuł o produkcji "Potopu", a w nim, obok przepięknych projektów kostiumów, wiele zaskakujących informacji o tym, jak ten film miał pierwotnie wyglądać w wywiadach z Wilhelmem Hollendrem (kierownikiem produkcji) i Jerzym Szeskim (scenografem). Tekst: Adam Zarzycki.

Z mojej małej prywatnej kolekcji starych gazet.

Horpyna Dońcówna & Jurko Bohun*

@kozakk, I have been looking through my archive to find something in a "Horpyna&Bohun being besties" theme and finally found this almost completely forgotten photo.

From my old collection of press cuttings/photographs from the Polish Press (1997–1999). It is a fan account. I don’t benefit from it. Copyright belongs to the Photographer.

*I'm praising here the character only, not the actor playing him in the film.

Original invitation for the festive premiere of the film "Ogniem i mieczem", which took place in the Polish Grand Theater–National Opera in Warsaw 8.02.1999.

Information about the premiere date, which can be found now in many places, is not entirely precise. 8.02.1999 was organized only a special seance for journalists and then - the official ceremony in the Grand Theater took place. Both were not open to the public. To attend the festive premiere 8.02.1999 the special invitations were required, which were reserved only to the Polish highest state officials (prime minister, etc.) and selected, special guests from the cultural circles. For the rest of the Polish nation was only a broadcasting from the theater foyer in TVP, before and after the seance (from it I remember above all some our politicians, saying, that they would like to be Bohun:-)

So the REAL premiere, so expected by many, took place... 12.02.1999. It was a day, when the film started to be shown in 75 cinemas in Poland (including the biggest two in my family city:-)

As a teenager, I could only dream of such an invitation. I have seen the film much later. For the first time with my parents, for the second - with my school. My real ticket from the second seance I have posted here (the one from the first has not been preserved):

Panowie Bracia, święty dzień Miesięcznicy naszej uczcijmy społem kufelkiem piwa "Bohun" lub "Kmicic" z Browaru "Kmicic" w Częstochowie (no gdzieżby indziej...). Browar istnieje od 1840 r., a zatem starszy jest od "Trylogii" o lat równo 43. Ciekawe, jak stare są więc Trylogiowe receptury?

@wanderer-on-the-steppe, specially for you, I have decided to start a new series of posts, dedicated to Bohdan Chmielnicki and Bohdan Stupka. There is a lot of archival material and it's worth to be shown here!
