action
Bon vivant Robert Wagner has a problem: For the past 20 years he has financed his luxury with the money from Uncle Bill from overseas. He tricked him into thinking that he was studying, later doing his doctorate in medicine, opening a hospital and being married. For everything he received money from Uncle Bill, he didn't even go to university. Robert lives with lawyer Alex Ross in a glamorous villa when Uncle Bill signs up for a visit one day. Robert writes to him that he is engrossed in important scientific work with a Bosnian professor, but Uncle Bill doesn't let that put him off. On the contrary: he now also wants to get to know the doctor. In a hurry, Robert hires the advertising actor Oskar Müller and his drink-loving colleague Erna Schuster as doctor and wife. Robert's ex-girlfriend Elke, who has been helping Robert for years, is also initiated into the comedy.
Uncle Bill appears and brings his daughter Daila with him. She was unattractive as a teenager, so that Robert never considered Bill's desire to marry her one day. However, she has since become a beautiful young woman and Robert immediately regrets inventing a wife. Things get complicated when the Bosnatic embassy believes that Oskar Müller is indeed the famous Bosnatic doctor he claims to be. The Bosnians believe he has fled their country and are doing everything in their power to arrest Oskar. At the same time, a sick sheikh asks to be treated by Oscar. Oskar only manages to escape his pursuers with great difficulty. The masquerade of Oskar and Robert threatens to be exposed when Bill visits them both in the hospital and wants to look over their shoulders as they work. Both of them can only cope with the situation with difficulty.
At some point Oskar has had enough and packs his things. Since his suitcase was placed in Bill's room, he has to look for the suitcase in his room. The agents of the Bosnian embassy also observe him and get into Bill's room at night, where they suspect Oskar is. They accidentally take Bill with them and take him to the Bosnatic Embassy, where they notice their mistake. Bill is exposed disguised as a drunk man. When a party takes place in the embassy in the evening, Robert and Oskar sneak into the embassy disguised as women, where they suspect Bill, but cannot find anything. Back at the villa, Bill is already there and in critical condition, as Daila claims. Robert now gives up his masquerade. He and Oskar admit that they only played the doctors. But Bill's health is now going on in any case. Suddenly Bill stands in front of them in perfect health. He only played his illness to test Robert. He also heard the confession and is horrified. However, Daila points out that he too never worked in his life because he had a rich father. Robert, in turn, indicates that Bill will soon be his father-in-law, if he wants to marry Daila and she agrees. Alex and Elke become a couple in the end and Bill also finds a new friend in Erna.
criticism
The film-dienst described Crazy - totally crazy as a “clutter-like game of mistaken identity with no claim to logic and credibility.” “Not just crazy, but totally crazy,” summarized Cinema .
The magazine Filmecho / Filmwoche drew particular attention to the brother of the Belgian Queen Don Jaime, who played his part "chevaleresk and experienced". In addition, Georg Thomalla pulls "all the stops of his thoroughbred comedy".
