Pietro wyzej (1937, Poland)



Singing as Mae West
 Two musicians with the same surname live in an apartment block. One is an older man with an appreciation for and love of classical music, while the other is a younger man addicted to swing music. The niece of the older man arrives for a visit and, getting no answer when she knocks, she finds the key under the mat and lets herself in -- but it is the wrong apartment, and when the younger man comes home, complications arise.

Later there is a huge fancy dress party, and the star turn is the radio announcer Henryk Paczek, played by Eugeniusz Bodo, who does a turn, singing "Sex Appeal" dressed as Mae West.




Romantic attention
 Sitting at a table after the song, he attracts the romantic attention of the older musician.

The film is an interesting period piece; there is a street sequence obviously filmed in public, in pre-war Warsaw. The film has a sound track, but the dialogue is partly limited or absent.
