What Will You Do When You Catch Me

What Will You Do When You Catch Me? is the English title of Co mi zrobisz, jak mnie zlapiesz? a Polish comedy film released in 1978, directed by Stanislaw Bareja.

Tadeusz Krzakoski (Krzysztof Kowalewski), the director of a failing state-owned company, is married with problems. His mistress, the daughter of a Communist party bigwig, says shes pregnant and Tadeusz knows hell have to marry her to save his reputation and his job. But divorce is never simple and Barejas screwball comedies are never boring.

What Will You Do shares many themes in common with Barejas other comedies, especially Teddy Bear, with an emphasis on the sheer abusurdity of life under Communism. The plot is too convoluted to be believed, but the director makes screamingly funny scenes from watching hapless citizens of Warsaw using a glass in a cafeteria thats been chained to the table so it wont be stolen or waiting in line for days to buy furniture.
