Among many people I trust, this 1965 Polish production has acquired cult status as a delightful, penetrating panorama of mystical adventure. The comparisons are generally to the Arabian Nights, since it tells the tale of a captain of the Spanish guard (the late Zbigniew Cybulski) as a series of stories within the story. The film is long, and if it grabs you it supposedly mesmerizes. Directed by Wojciech Has.
