This article is devoted to Polish comedies made in 1960s and dealing with the Second World War. The films analysed are: Stanislaw Lenartowicz’s Giuseppe in Warsaw, Tadeusz Chmielewski’s Where is the General? and How I caused the Second World War, and Bronislaw Brok’s Cafe “Under a lamprey”. The presented films posed questions and presented situations that were not that different from those described by the Polish Film School, however they provided completely different answers, thus becoming a part of the cinema of new memory. Visions of the world, the war and the Polish role in it presented in those films fitted in well with the political and ideological context of the time, and the societal expectations. The comedies avoided controversies, and referred to the stereotypes and auto-stereotypes accepted within the society, and applied conventions of the genre, in particular – farce. Their present day popularity proves that they represent values that go beyond the cultural politics of the decade.
