Passenger is a 1963 Polish feature film directed by Andrzej Munk. When Munk died in a car crash during production, the unfinished film was assembled for release by directors Witold Lesiewicz and Andrzej Brzozowski.

Production history

Munk, at the age of 39, died in a car accident while the film was in production. The completed scenes were combined from parts of original footage and screenplay sketches by Witold Lesiewicz. The methods used are explained in a voice-over during the course of the film, so its unfinished state itself takes a documentary form. Parts of the film were shot at Auschwitz.

Posmysz's play was later reworked into a novel. It was published in 1962 as Pasażerka.

When the work was made into an opera in 1968, American audiences were first alerted to Munk's impressive cinematic oeuvre.

From the novel, "The Passenger" was adapted into an opera The Passenger by Polish-Jewish-Soviet Composer Mieczysław Weinberg in 1967/68, in collaboration with Posmysz. The success of the opera since its staged premiere in 2010 has prompted a renewed interest in Munk's film.
