Live and act
After the resurrection of Poland as a result of the First World War, Samborski embarked on an unspectacular theater career in his hometown of Warsaw. Since the beginning of the 20s there have also been tasks from film. He impersonated police officers, bank tellers, professors, surgeons and directors in films that almost never made it abroad. These were mostly supporting supporting roles, only very rarely leading roles such as the title hero in the late silent film Policmajster Tagiejew in 1929 .
As a result of the occupation of Poland by the German Wehrmacht in autumn 1939 , his film and theater career, like that of all Polish artists, suddenly collapsed. Unlike most of his colleagues, however, Samborski decided to collaborate with the occupying power - the reason is presumed to be the fact that Samborski's wife was Jewish and he wanted to protect her by working together. As a result, Samborski was sporadically offered roles in German film productions. If he took on the small role of mayor in the smear film Heimkehr 1941 under his real name, he took part in his two subsequent Reich German productions - now Germanized to Gottlieb Sambor - with much larger roles: In the love that plays in the lumberjack and sawmill milieu - and moral novel from the Bohemian Forest , At the end of the world , from the hand of Heimkehr director Gustav Ucicky , he took on the leading role of Stefan Grabowski right behind the two main actors Brigitte Horney and Attila Hörbiger . Shortly before the end of the war, in January 1945, Sambor was ordered to Prague to play Hans Albers' antagonist with the painter and counterfeiter Count Gortschakoff in the unfinished crime film Shiva and the Gallows Flower .
In 1946, Samborski was expelled from the actors in his native Poland and sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment for collaboration with the enemy. He then fled to South America (possibly in 1948) and finally settled in Argentina, where he died in 1971.
