Summary/Abstract: The text concerns two film biographies of Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, an outstanding and legendary poet of the Second World War killed in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. The films Fourth Day by Ludmiła Niedbalska (1984) and Baczyński by Konrad Piwowarski (2013) were subject to a comparative analysis. It covered genaelogical issues, the poet’s biography and a presentation of his work. The analysis shows the extreme difference in creative concepts, and thus the various possibilities that the biographical film faces.
