"Ashes and Diamonds:" by the preeminent Polish director, Andrej Wajda, tells

the story of an assassin ordered to kill the prominent Communist national. The entire action is telescoped into one day, the final day of WWII as Poland was reeling from the viciousness both of the German and the "liberating" Russian troops.
Wajda shows a brilliant technique, using the rather common story line to trace not a few similarities to "Hamlet."
The lead actor gives an edgy, innovative (for the time) performance, bringing to mind the intensity (not to mention the haircut and dark glasses) of James Dean.
This, justly, makes many critics' "Best 100" lists.
