I learned the same phrase in perfect BBC Polish and it backfired. I said it so well that the Poles just ignored it and continued to speak in Polish. Then I ended up with a Polish girlfriend back in the states and learned real fast. She was gorgeous.

That was exactly the response I got.

However, I did not end up with a Polish girlfriend. Your "She was gorgeous", is, I recall, redundant.
