Daddy Gets Married (original Polish title: Papa się żeni ) is a 1936 Polish comedy film written by Karol Jarossy and adapted from a play by Wincenty Rapacki by Jan Fethke[1] and directed by Michał Waszyński.
[2] The film is also referred to in English as Papa is Getting Married.
[1] The film is a "comedy of errors set in the world of artistic elites", described as follows by a contemporary review in the Kurier Warszawski: "The farce is bursting with humor.
[5] "It is not really suitable for the screen; it does not have enough "dramatic" tensions, nor enough film situations.
[6] In a review in the Kurier Polski, the actors are mentioned as follows: "But the leading role in the cast is not the one played by Fertner as the titular papa, nor the one by Brodniewicz as the tenor, the idol of women, nor that of Lidja Wysocka, who is harmed by certain unfortunate close-ups…Surprisingly, it's Jadzia Andrzejewska who comes forward, this Cinderella of Polish film, wronged by producers who give her mediocre roles, disregarded by directors who think that a character role requires grotesque ugliness…"[6] The film was restored and digitalised by the Polish Film Institute.
