This non notable film has no independent reviews found in a WP:BEFORE search. Only things found were film database sites. Donaldd23 (talk) 00:11, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. The Polish version of this article is not much better (it is longer but doesn't cite many sources), and I understand that most people here don't read Polish, but at least ask at WT:POLAND before. It is a major Polish film by a major Polish director (Janusz Zaorski), neither may be a household name, but they are both above-average, and obviously it will have a bunch of reviews and such in Polish - unfortunately most of it is not digitized or in hard-to-search Polish newspapers archives and like. It is mentioned in some English sources like (since the director is  notable, and that source notes it is one of his major movies). Some still-online reviews:, , , . Google Books gives plentyof hits: I cannot access more than a snippet but I think it has a review in the 1997 edition of Polish magazine about movies , and another review from 1997 seems to be here: . There is also other coverage,  (about the movie being restored by Polish state television), or mentions in lists like  (which is a Polish gov't sponsored site about a Polish culture). It seems to have its own section/review in this book  but sadly that magazine has digital archives from 1998 onward only right now ; anyway this may not be just a review as the title suggests the article discusses a (negative) reception of the movie by US Polonia. Another book seems to have a two-page long discussion of the movie: . Google Scholar also shows many  hits, for example I see several paragraphs discussing this movie in  and a bunch of shorter mentions in several other academic works, overall the movie has been clearly subject to media and academic discourse about how people in Poland see Polish emigrants in the USA. I could throw more sources, but really, what needs flying here is a WP:TROUT. PS. The article here discusses several reviews of the movie by known Polish movie criticis and notes it was a big box office hit in Poland of that time. PPS. There is one more in-depth academic article about the movie and the book it is based on but it seems not to be available online: . --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  07:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - given the director and the actors, all of whom are notable and quite well known (though maybe not in US), this is clearly notable as well.  Volunteer Marek   04:26, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Since the updates of the article it has proved itself both relevant, notable and well sourced. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 17:13, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Obvious Keep after improvements. Also, more sources exist. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * As I nominated this for a DYK, I wouldn't mind seeing those "more sources"? Maybe I can use them to expand the article? TIA. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here
 * Keep as per WP:HEY, the included reliable sources show a clear pass of WP:GNG and WP:NFILM imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:29, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - We shouldn't be biased against foreign films just because checking notability and verifiability are more difficult in a foreign language. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:12, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
