Robert i Bertrand (1938) ***

Legendary pre-war Polish comedy because it united two greatest Polish comics of the era: Eugeniusz Bodo and Adolf Dymsza. Unfortunately, only about half of the film has survived the war. Ditto for the two comics: Bodo died in a Soviet gulag, while Dymsza joined the Communist party after the war.
