Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Pułkownik Kwiatkowski is a Polish historical comedy directed by Kazimierz Kutz.It is 1945 and the Soviet occupation of Poland has been complete for some time. Captain Andrzej Kwiatowski, a gynecologist-turned-surgeon, has been given a vacation with a help of one of his grateful patients, a colonel in the UB - State Sec for the forming PRL. While on leave, he takes a Girl Next Door to a date at a fancy hotel. Ending up punching a drunk Soviet colonel, to save his skin he demands an instant call to the Minister of Security, pretending to be a high-ranking security officer himself. This audacious act proves spectacularly successful. Hilarity Ensues as Kwiatkowski continues to use his sharp wit and the Communist Newspeak to skillfully turn its intended meanings inside out and manipulate the unwitting Party faithful to do his bidding, while helping out all sorts of people who have run into difficulty with the new regime.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Affably Evil: Colonek Kizior is one of two competent UB officials (the other being Moczar) and he is somewhat lenient toward Kwiatkowski after his capture, or at least pretends to be.

Actually Pretty Funny: During Dudek's medical exam to see if he is fit to be a soldier, he has a very hard time not to crack up, fully aware that all three doctors are doing their best to get him out of military and toying with the political officer present. The moment castration is mentioned, he almost chokes.

Based on a True Story: The film ends with such a disclaimer, but Kutz never openly said whose story he meant. There were a few people similar to Kwiatkowski in Poland and other details match non-Polish examples of Impersonating an Officer scams and pranks.
