Wiki.

Neighbors (Polish: Piętro wyżej) is a 1937 Polish musical romantic comedy film directed by Leon Trystan, and starring Eugeniusz Bodo, Józef Orwid and Helena Grossówna. Its plot follows two neighbors who, although unrelated, happen to have the same last name (Henryk and Hipolit Pompek) and are complete opposites of each other. Complications arise when the niece of the older, Hipolit Pompek arrives for a visit and gets into Henryk's apartment who immediately falls for her.

The film was awarded the main prize at the Polish Film Festival in Lviv in 1938. September the same year, Piętro wyżej was dubbed in Yiddish and released under the title Shkhnim. Famous Polish-Jewish actor Menasze Oppenheim starred in the lead role. Neighbors is one of the most popular Polish pre-war films. Heavily inspired by pre-Code motion pictures, the film is noted for the first ever on-screen depiction of a drag queen.
