Przygoda na Mariensztacie (1954) ***
A beautiful young peasant girl (Lidia Korsak, all photos) dreams of becoming a bricklayer. Only in a socialist realist film made in Communist Poland in 1954. But its ridiculous premise aside, it's still a charming musical comedy about the battle of the sexes. This is the kind of film that would later be deconstructed and demythologized in Andrzej Wajda's "Czlowiek z marmuru".
