Summary/Abstract: The idea of this paper is to describe unrealizded screenplays of Stanisław Dygat. Those works are kept in the archives of Filmoteka Narodowa and show how much Dygat, one of the most famous Polish writers, was interested in film and how many trials to become a screenwriter he has undertaken. The idea here is to look for a very characteristic motive for Dygat’s prose – Peter Pan motive. The main hero in Dygat’s books is always like a big boy, trying to manage in the adult’s world, believing in magic and the power and illusion. Reading the unrealized screenplays being written by Dygat since late 40’s one can very easily find the same motive of Peter Pan, which shows the writer’s artistic consequence and his strong fascination of film as a new way of expression.
