Profesor Wilczur is a 1938 Polish romantic drama film directed by Michał Waszyński. It is based on the novel by Tadeusz Dolega-Mostowicz.
A look at the lives of people who work on the barges and boats flowing across the Vistula River.
A landowner meets a cabaret dancer in Warsaw who unexpectedly accompanies him to his rural estate, shocking his household. When his son arrives with his fiancée, the dancer is hidden in the gamekeeper’s cottage, sparking suitors among the gamekeeper’s son and later the landowner’s own son.
The film picks up the story of the brilliant surgeon-turned–folk healer from the beloved “Znachor” and “Profesor Wilczur,” this time with its original author, Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz, co-writing the screenplay and even appearing on screen as the tale’s own chronicler. Considered lost.
