The Two Joanas

The Two Joanas

dir.

Mieczysław Krawicz

1935, 1 h 30 min

A cheerful comedy of errors – just the kind of film that enjoyed the most popularity in the thirties.
Joasia, an attractive girl, is fed up with her bosses’ flirting. She decides to look for work dressed as an ugly eccentric. She gets a job but this time she falls in love with her superior.

The title role is played by the queen of Polish cinema, Jadwiga Smosarska, partnered by one of the best romantic leading men of the thirties, Franciszek Brodniewicz. The highlight of the film is also the participation of the singer, Adam Aston, and the cinema debut of the star of opera and operetta, Lucyna Szczepańska.

As part of the digital restoration process it was possible to add three minutes of lost material, unknown to the post-war audience.
