Amico is a German comedy film from 1949 by Gerhard T. Buchholz with Kirsten Heiberg and Otto Wernicke .

action

The focus of the story is a large apartment building in which several parties live. Here the beefy house owner, master confectioner Robert Kornagel, commands with an iron hand. After a long wait, the aging Elisabeth Herzog, a former court actress, is finally assigned an apartment in this building. But there is a problem: Her phlegmatic little mustache "Amico", who gave this film its title, is everything to her, while Kornagel is by no means willing to tolerate a dog in his four walls. Since Frau Herzog simply cannot live without her dog, she tries in her own way to solve the conflict with the grumpy homeowner, but with that bites granite. In the end, after several events, everything works out fine, and the old lady can keep her little dog with her, while the gruff pastry chef even becomes a real animal lover.

Production notes

Reviews

The time judged: “With finer psychological work-through and more imaginative description of the milieu, the pretty material could have resulted in a cheerful chamber play in the style of Lubitsch's delicious ' Rendezvous after the shop closes '. Instead, the authors reached out heartily and unearthed proven film props: for example, a bar with seductive chansonette, which in the form of Kirsten Heiberg performed a song composed by Majewsky in a charming but not always understandable manner. So it was just a harmless and clean entertainment film, amiable in the humorous scenes and well dosed in the ingredient of soul. "

"Good-natured, inconsequential family entertainment."
