Leon Niemczyk

[imagel]http://film.onet.pl/_i/ludzie/n/niemczyk_leon/b.jpg[/imagel]In 1962, Roman Polanski, a 29-year-old graduate from the celebrated Lodz Film School in Poland, gained worldwide fame with his first feature, the Oscar-nominated A Knife in the Water. An absurdist drama of sexual rivalry and the generation gap, it told of a couple who pick up a handsome, freewheeling young man and invite him to join them on a sailing trip. The man and the boy struggle for ascendancy, competing for the attention of the sexy woman, who lounges around in a bikini. The husband was played by Leon Niemczyk, who has died of lung cancer aged 82.
