action

Mannequin Birgit is frustrated: Although she has been with her boyfriend Rolf Simser for a long time, he refuses to introduce her to his parents. They live as farmers in the small village of Thomaskirchen and have prejudices against mannequins. Birgit separates from Rolf and goes to Thomaskirchen on her own. She asks about farmer Simser, who is dismissing his maid in front of her eyes , and spontaneously applies as a new maid. After initial mistrust, farmer and farmer Simser take the always clumsy Birgit into their hearts.

Thomaskirchen is divided. On one side there is the village council with its old views, which the mayor represents. On the other hand, there is progress with jazz music and dance, which Ruppich represents in the council for gas station owners. In the village, on the other hand, his daughter Christine is notorious for her rebellious nature. After repeatedly appearing in the past with loud jazz music from the transistor radio in the mayor's restaurant "Goldene Traube", she has since been banned from the mayor. With their plan to open a music café in an empty castle, Christine and her father have always failed due to resistance from the authorities. One day Gus Backus and his friend Dr. Fred Rother in the village, actually only want to make a short stopover and stay when they hear about the "jazz war" in Thomaskirchen.

Meanwhile, Birgit has other problems. Rolf has appeared in Thomaskirchen accompanied by the blonde Doris and plays with Birgit's jealousy. While Rolf is already forging wedding plans with Doris, Birgit finds an admirer in Fred. Together they plan a Miss Thomaskirchen competition, which is held despite resistance from the authorities. In the end, neither the favored Christine nor the beautiful Birgit win, but the buxom Anka Grabovac. Her admirer, the gendarme canine, secretly manipulated the ballot papers. Only the next day the fraud is made public and Christine is subsequently voted Miss. As compensation, the Ruppich family is finally able to open their long-awaited music bar for young people in the Burg am See.

Birgit and Rolf also become a couple in the end. Birgit wanted to slowly prepare Rolf's parents for the fact that she was not a maid, but a mannequin. However, Rolf's father had already seen photos of her in the newspaper and soon came to terms with a mannequin daughter-in-law. Together they convince Rolf's mother to say yes to a marriage between Rolf and Birgit. Finally she lets herself be won over by Birgit's charm.

Numerous hits are sung in the film:

criticism

In 1963 the film-dienst found that the problems arising in the film "are unspeakably silly and unskillfully [solved], with the longest time being devoted to providing opportunities for pop singers to perform and opportunities for modern dances." [...] Everything is so well organized and so chemically cleaned of all the details that censors could stumble upon, that the film is accessible to the six year olds. His plot is terrifyingly poor [...] Whether nonsense doesn’t affect the upbringing for mental and social proficiency? ”The green cast of the color film was also criticized .

The lexicon of international films published by film-dienst in 1990 called Übermut in the Salzkammergut “German film nonsense shot in Yugoslavia”, in which, among other things, the village youth try “to take over the calcified parents' generation for jazz and twist.” In one New edition of the lexicon 2001 called Übermut in the Salzkammergut as a "silly slapstick film, bumpy and laboriously cobbled together as a framework for the presentation of then current film hits [...]."

Cinema stated: “The story winds stiffly around songs by Gus Backus or Heino-Frau Hannelore Auer. But: when 'Little Martina' stirs the song 'It's getting thicker, thicker, thicker, my papi', anarcho-humor à la ' Monty Python 'flashes for a moment. Conclusion: groan - because Kammergut is looking at something else! "
