[From "Kovacs Corner" on KZbin.com] - Consciously or not, did Mel Brooks pay a tribute to Ernie Kovacs in his 1983 film "To Be or Not to Be"? One of the opening scenes finds Mel and his real life wife, the late Anne Bancroft, performing the song "Sweet Georgia Brown"...in Polish. Sounds familiar Kovacs fans? One of the recurring visual/musical gags that Ernie inserted in most of his ABC Television Network produced shows was the unidentified singer performing "Mona Lisa"...also in Polish!
You can catch a view of the Kovacs clip at the beginning of my YT video 'Ernie Kovacs - Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture, Part 2"' [ • Ernie Kovacs - Tchaiko... ]

Theater people (I am one) would not need to know anything about either Mel Brooks or Anne Bancroft to know, based on this single number, that they were both very gifted and very experienced performers. You don't get that seemingly effortless fluidity of gesture and facial expression except by years of practical work. (And trust me, it IS "seemingly". Theater is an entire profession built around the old joke about the man who is told that he needs to be more sincere. "Sincerity? Yeah; I can fake that."). I am particularly in awe of Bancroft. That the actress who gives the impression in this scene that she's been a musical-revue entertainer all her life is the same one who gave such hard-hitting dramatic performances in films like "The Pumpkin Eater" and "The Miracle Worker" is a testament to the scope and depth of creative power.

Of course, it helped that they had been married for twenty years at the time this movie was made (and remained so for the rest of Anne's life), that they genuinely loved each other, that they were best friends, and they knew theater and comedy all their lives. For them it may not have been effortless, but it was fluid and natural for two great actors. I don't think any other couple could have carried this scene, but I can't think of any other couple who would have tried it.

Ms. Bancroft had excellent comedic timing. I watched a special on Mel Brooks several years ago, and he mentioned that this was one of his very favorite movie moments with his wife. I tear up every time I watch it. Hard to believe it's been 20 years since she passed. We still have Mel for now, and I'm thankful for that. A comedy genius. Thanks to them both. ❤❤ If you've never seen this movie you are missing out!

Her real name is Anna Maria Italiano, and HIS real name is Melvin Kaminsky, so the Polish was a bit easier for him. She once famously said, "There's a mirror by our front door, and I can see that it's not Robert Redford who's coming home. It's this funny little man -- but he makes my heart flutter!" Such a long and happy marriage they had, when so many couples in Hollowood last only a few years!

They couldn’t have given Mel a different mustache? I remember watching this for the first time and thinking exactly that cuz all I honestly saw was President Skroob! Then later on when he was impersonating Siletski, all I saw was Van Helsing! Haha Btw, To Be Or Not To Be is one of my top five Mel Brooks films.

Thank you so much! I tried putting the traditional lyrics into Google Translate and, even though I don't speak Polish (apart from a couple of words) I could tell that it didn't look anything like what they were singing. But this was so accurate I was able to follow it along. I put these lyrics into Google Translate but it came up with different lyrics to the traditional version so maybe there is another version that I don't know about. Now, if only someone could translate the dialogue. I understand "thank you" but that's about it.

@@feliciabbb My pleasure. What's really amazing is how for the most part they didn't butcher the (notoriously difficult) Polish pronounciation all that much. I imagine that Mr. Brooks (né Kamińsky) probably did have some contact with the language in his youth, but I doubt Mrs. Bancroft did.

I'd love a translation? Maybe the song lyrics too. I tried putting the English Sweet Georgia Brown lyrics into Translate and it doesn't seem to match what they're singing
