Stawka wieksza niz zycie

This serial was so often on the TV screen sin the former Soviet Union that many Russian people know it almost by heart. The brave and valiant Lautenant Kloss, the Polish spy in the German uniform, dissembles so many German plans and tricks in 4 years, that one starts to wonder why all the German police couldn't find him. In fact, there are so many unreal adventures, and Kloss is so invincible that it is next to impossible to believe in this film. But then, it is so funny, and the move-less face of Kloss in all the dangers are so great that you watch it for fun and for relaxation. This is a clever done, brisk and never tedious action serial. The hit of the 70-80's in Russia and Poland. Watch and have fun!

This is one from the two best Polish series (the second call "Czterej Pancerni i Pies"). I think that J-23 (captain Klos) is good (or maybe better) as James Bond. His dialogs with Herman Bruner are excellent and many of them we used daily. And now Mr. and Mr. Kaczynski would like removed this top series from Polish TV because is to communistic and show not true story. I think that those two guys (President and Prime Minister of Poland) are not serious and recall his man (chief of Polish Television) for improve his decisions and we still can see Klos and Bruner on TV screen and heard: "Bruner nie ze mna te numery" and many others sentences.

Anyone who knows a little about Polish cinema knows that stawka collects all best supporting actors.

Emil karewicz created the best villain in decades.

This movie has been made during communist regime in Poland and therefore showed Poles as allies of Stalinist Russia. It was not true. The independent Poland performed its own secret secret operations against 3rd Reich and the Stalinist Russia did the same but not in alliance. Many best Polish stars have played, shootings were very realistic. The film was very popular in Poland, in the USSR and in... Denmark. In some cases Germans have been shown as stupid slaughters. For example, second lieutenant (Oberleutnant) Kloss has been awarded by Iron Cross by Hitler (shown from the back, however) for discovering a plot against main Nazi leaders. Wilhelm Canaris is also shown (a part of face only). The role of a SS officer Brunner (Emil Karewicz) is a masterwork.

Legendary series for people from most of the ex-communist countries. Stanislaw Mikulski is great as Hans Kloss (and looks very good in the German uniform). The story is very good and really captivating. There are some false informations about a war in Poland (eternal friendship with Soviet Union!). But there is not so much communist propaganda as in for instance "Czterej pancerni i pies". It's old, but still good. Watch and enjoy the adventures of the Polish spy in Abwehra!
