****

Couple takes student hitchhiker sailing.  Understated Polish drama, beautifully photographed (in black and white) by Jerzy Lipman.  Ought to be boring, but isn't, as Polanski artfully draws suspense by mixing the mundane with the mysterious (the unknown quantity of the hitchhiker).  Builds to a satsifying and unexpected conclusion.  With excellent performances by its cast of three:  Leon Niemczyk, Jolanta Umecka, and Zygmunt Malanowicz.  Polanski's first feature length film.
