Reviews

  • In the Film-Kurier of June 13, 1936 one could read: “The fame of the Americans for making fast, carefree, amiable entertainment films did not let Willy Forst rest any longer. Now he himself has brought such a loose child of the cheerful muse into the world. "
  • In the Berliner Morgenpost of June 14, 1936, it was stated: "One can clearly say of this mistaken comedy that it is on a par with the American comedy film."
  • Heyne Filmlexikon (1996): “The cheerful, romantic love story of two bridal couples who become married couples. Elegance and style characterize this typical Willi Forst comedy. "
  • Joseph Goebbels wrote in his diary on June 10, 1936 regarding allotria : “Very quick and with a lot of speed. But exaggerated in terms of effects, and therefore not entirely satisfactory. Less would be more. "
  • Evangelischer Filmbeobachter (Review No. 31/1952): “A crazy game of confusion and love for marriage in an elegantly staged German film of the older generation. Pleasant entertainment for adults. "

music

In the film, Hilde Hildebrand sings the song “Come, play with me blind man's cow” by Peter Kreuder and Hans Fritz Beckmann , which can still be found on various oldies samplers today.
