  2. ^ Zelman, 2013: “The tragi-comedy Bad Luck (Zezowate szczęście, 1960)..."
  3. ^ Niemitz, 2014: “Bad Luck (1960), based on Jerzy Stawiński's novel Six Incarnations of Jan Piszczyk (1959), like Man on the Tracks, is a retrospective on a life.”
  4. ^ Bren, 2012: “Munk's…overtly comic Bad Luck, is adapted from Stawiński's 1959 novel, Sześć wcieleń Jana Piszczyka (Six Incarnations of Jan Piszczyk), its title accurately suggesting the film's episodic line.”
