THE DELUGE (Potop). An Analysis of the Duel Scene

Colonel Wolodyjowski's duel with Andrzej Kmicic is one of those cult scenes in Polish cinema. It was the most difficult scene to create in The Deluge (Polish: Potop). How did the film crew prepare to shoot this scene? How did the actors Tadeusz Łomnicki and Daniel Olbrychski have to prepare for it? Why during the duel – unlike in Henryk Sienkiewicz's novel – it is raining all the time? What is the role of the water element in this scene?
