Pan Twardowski is a 1921 Polish silent fantasy film directed by Wiktor Biegański and starring Bronisław Oranowski, Wanda Jarszewska and Antoni Nowara-Piekarski.
[2] Biegański was hired by the Polish government to make the film in an effort to foster a greater sense of Polish national identity—particularly in the ethnically mixed Upper Silesia.
[4] According to a 16th-century Polish legend, an occultist from Kraków sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for magic powers, but later reneged on the deal.
The character is said to have been based on a real-life 16th century German nobleman who lived in Kraków and Nuremberg.
