For the second week of Dec. 2017 - we chose a lovely old Tango by a lesser-known Polish Tango composer H. Hosson with the magnificent lyrics written by Hanka Ordonowna - a superstar of Warsaw stage, movies and cabarets from 1929 till 1939. The title "Jesli Mila Ci Moja Pieszczota" translates loosely to "If You Like My Caresses". It was uploaded by Dr. 240252 on Dec. 06 - 2017.
Hanka Ordonowna's life and career could make a great movie but regrettably - according to Dr. 240252 - the Polish movie made about her life was not only not good, but it came out phony, fakey and boring. It would seem to be hard to accomplish since her life and a legendary career with the performances on Warsaw's stages and in many famous Polish movies from the late 1920's which look and sound great - even today. In addition to being extremely multi-talented - she was also a beautiful woman, an accomplished dancer who wore magnificent garments with style and pizazz.
She married a wealthy and handsome Polish prince - Michal Tyszkiewich who helped - for a while - in writing some sensational lyrics for her hit love songs. His family totally rejected her which caused a rift in their marriage. She also missed her professional life in Warsaw, so she left her husband's mansion to return to her life as a superstar.
She had a few widely publicized affairs with several famous Polish male movie stars and producers of her shows - while her husband waited for her return. She did come back to her husband but after some grueling Second World War experiences which strained her health - consequently - she contracted TBS again - which virulently attacked her lungs; she died young - in her middle forties. However - she left a sizable legacy of her creative works - most of which are available on YT.
Have a great second week of Dec. 2017 - everybody! The Christmas and the New Year's Eve will be here soon! Keep checking this website for which we - thank you all - whole bunch!
A small correction - Dr. 240252 deleted this video on Sat. Dec. 09 - 2017 - most likely due to some minor copyright issues - however - YouTube has his numerous, lovely videos of Hanka Ordon-Tyszkiewich with his interesting and informative commentaries enhanced by the comments of the viewers.
