Robert and Bertram (Polish: Robert i Bertrand) is a 1938 Polish comedy film directed by Mieczysław Krawicz and starring Helena Grossówna, Eugeniusz Bodo and Adolf Dymsza. It was inspired by a comedy sketch by Johann Nestroy which was in turn based on an 1856 farce Robert and Bertram by the German writer Gustav Räder featuring two wandering vagrants with hearts of gold. A German adaptation was made the following year. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Jacek Rotmil and Stefan Norris.[1]
