Da laughs Tirol is a German mountain film comedy by Lothar Brandler from 1967.

action

There is excitement in a small mountain village in Tyrol : mountaineers Margit Sollerer and Wolf Prätorius, who have already conquered so many difficult peaks, have come to climb the “pillar”. As a particular difficulty, it has an extreme overhang , on which even Hias Holleis' sons Toni and Franz have always failed. Since Hias wants to prevent the village from becoming a mockery in all of Tyrol because strangers were able to climb the only unconquered peak in the Wilder Kaiser , he lets both sons dare to climb again. Again, they fail in the overhang that just by using bolts would cope.

While Franz takes his girlfriend Gisela on a sightseeing flight in the Alps with the Piper PA 28 CHEROKEE SIX motorized aircraft and later climbs a snow mountain with her and Toni takes tourists to the alpine pasture, Margit and Wolf try to conquer the pillar. Thanks to bolts they get further than Franz and Toni, but finally Wolf falls on the overhang and hangs in the rope with an injured hand. Franz and Toni are alerted as mountain rescuers and come to their aid. The four of them finally master the last few meters to the summit. Back in the village, a big folk festival takes place in their honor.

production

Going am Wilden Kaiser, a location for the film

The script of Da lacht Tirol is based on the stories Da lacht Tirol and Am Seil vom Stabeler Much by Karl Springenschmid . The film was shot in and around Going am Wilden Kaiser and St. Johann in Tirol and was released in cinemas on December 1, 1967. The film's later distribution titles were Decision at the Wilder Kaiser and Ruf der Berge .

The main actors in the film, Hansjörg Hochfilzer and Franz Jäger, were professional mountaineers. Director Brandler was also one of “Europe's best rock climbers” in the 1950s and 1960s and integrated numerous mountain shots into the film. The pillar ascents are shown over long stretches, interrupted by shorter film scenes with Beppo Brems Hias or Sepp Rists Much. The film is therefore sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as a documentary film.

In the film, the St. Johann in Tirol band appears with Andreas Wurzrainer, Konrad Kofler, Anton Pletzer and Peter Steger. Barbara Bergold drew the comic title of the opening credits .

criticism

The lexicon of the international film wrote: “Climbing a mountain wall as alpine tourist folklore with harmless, naive jokes. Only the landscape shots have their charm. "

For Cinema , the film was a "tipsy alpine folklore without pretensions".

The Protestant film observer drew the following conclusion: “The framework gives priority to the well-photographed climbing sections. Well suited for ages 10 and up. "
