Konstanty Meglicki was a director, actor, and teacher. He was married to actress Zorika Szymańska. He graduated from officer's school in Vilnius. During World War I, he served in the Russian army. In February 1920, as a Pole, he was released from service and went to Tbilisi, where, in anticipation of repatriation, he started studying Economics at the technical university. After his repatriation in 1921, he settled in Warsaw. He began studying at Kinostudia and, in 1922, made his debut as an actor in a film. A short time later, he opened his own Film Studio, where his pupils played most of the roles in the films he directed. In 1927, he started a film school in Toruń, and he went on to direct quite a bit. He gave up film work in the second half of the 1930s. Throughout the war, he played a role in rescuing Jews, for which he was posthumously awarded a medal as one of the Righteous Among the Nations.
