That I learned from dad is a German-Austrian mix-up comedy by Axel von Ambesser from 1964. It was the last film in which Willy Fritsch appeared.
action
Andreas Andermann doesn't have it easy: His father Clemens is a famous actor and now a manufacturer who retired many years ago and now wants to see his only son as the head of his Andermann Delt plants - Clemens had all his fortune in this Plastic factory and saved it from bankruptcy . Andreas, on the other hand, has been studying chemistry in the town of Freilangen for some time - that is what Clemens believes. In reality, Andreas finished his studies shortly after matriculating and started working as an actor at the theater in the small town under the name Thomas Anders. Apart from his best friend Oskar Werner “ OW ” Vischer and his former fellow student Christa Seebald, nobody in Freilangen knows about his identity.
The Andermann-Delt-Werke, however, are not doing well and so the concerned partner Sebastian Delt plans to announce the engagement of Andreas and his rich long-term friend Ebba Pedersen as soon as possible. Last but not least, this should tie Ebba's assets to the company. Clemens, on the other hand, goes to Freilangen to make the engagement attractive to Andreas.
Clemens' telegram causes panic in the town. Andreas and Christa quickly change their rooms - he moves back into the dormitory and she into his theater apartment. At the theater, on the other hand, Andreas is rehearsing Romeo and Juliet as Thomas , with Juliet being played by the guest actress Monika. Clemens and Andreas met them in a café and brought their stage partner his text book. When the father reacts in surprise, Andreas saves the situation by saying that an actor similar to him is engaged in the theater. After all, Monika also believes that Andreas has been confused with “Thomas Anders”.
Andreas is now playing a double game, especially since his father believes that he actually has an illegitimate son in the small town in Thomas Anders - after all, there are enough potential mothers from the wild past. After numerous entanglements, however, Clemens learns the truth of the double game and stages a big dinner to which Andreas and "Thomas" are invited and everyone suspects that everything is just a show. It gets even worse when, on the day of the premiere of Romeo and Juliet , the newspaper says that Thomas Anders is actually the son of the great actor Clemens. Monika thinks that Andreas gave the newspaper the tip in order to gain an advantage with the audience. Andreas, on the other hand, does not want to appear because he is now even more expecting the biased opinion of the audience, as he has by no means given the newspaper a tip. The premiere evening is coming and Andreas is playing badly than ever before. Instead of the theater director in the role of the priest, his own father suddenly stands before him as a priest and saves the evening: He has shown Andreas that he knows about his double play and forgives him, and Andreas now plays the scenes of his life in a relaxed manner.
In the end, Monika forgives him and they both become a couple. There is also a happy ending for Ebba, as she becomes engaged to the engineer at Andermann-Delt, Joachim Lange. This in turn is the illegitimate son of Sebastian Delt and the money stays in the company.
production
Director Axel von Ambesser reported in the magazine Filmecho / Filmwoche that the mere appearance of Fritsch father and son in a film was of course not enough. Rather, it was about building parallels to the lives and careers of the two into a nice, amusing plot.
The premiere of the film took place on August 28, 1964.
The film contains excerpts from the Willy Fritsch films Melodie des Herzens (1929), The three from the gas station (1930) and The Congress Dances (1931).
The hit sung in the film Das I've Learned From Papa was written and texted by Charly Niessen .
criticism
The lexicon of international films called Das I learned from Papa “Comedy tailored for Willy and Thomas Fritsch with rather stale jokes.” The Evangelical Film Observer came to a predominantly positive assessment : “Not exactly new comedy material was made here especially for Fritsch sen. and jun. revamped and offers friendly, light entertainment from 14 years on.
