Ladies and Gentlemen

Poland1964animated5'Retrospektywa Witolda Giersza (2017)

Full of witty observations, although extremely bitter in its message, this satire tells a story of the superiority of material goods over feelings in the struggle of two men to win the affection of the same woman. At one point in the competition, a new Eve enters the stage. The film had its peculiar continuation five years later with The Intellectual, an amusing, albeit reflective, picture. Silver Plaque in La Felguera (1966).
