action
In the last years of Austria-Hungary . The Bohemian Bogumil Zappler from the vicinity of Prague, a minor civil servant in the large bureaucratic apparatus of the Habsburg monarchy, is one day transferred to the Adriatic city of Maromir to work as a station director and telegraph officer, although completely unpolluted by classic seafaring to do his service. Already a little idiotic and calcified and not necessarily up to date in a foreign language, one day he receives an incoming telegram with the content “Start hospital construction without delay, urgent!”, Accidentally mutilates it and turns the reconstruction of the telex into its own interpretation “Catch spies, urgently ! ". As a result, His Majesty's entire naval base soon fell into turmoil.
Put on alert in this way, the base commander, Korvettenkapitän von Lindenau, orders that his people should start spying immediately. At this point in time, two somewhat inexperienced operetta singers arrive in Maromir, Bertl Stowasser and Fritz Schönthal. Since Schönthal has thrown himself into smart navy clothes for a stage appearance and his friend Bertl is playing his orderly, the two gentlemen are immediately suspected of being the targeted spies. The two are promptly locked into a crate. But after all sorts of further turbulence, things finally dissipate, especially as Schönthal falls in love with the distinctive brunette Charlotte von Lindenau, the commandant's pretty daughter.
Production notes
The title This is the love of the sailors is based on a popular film hit that the film composer Werner Richard Heymann once wrote for the German comedy Bombs on Monte Carlo in 1931 and which was hit by Hans Albers , Heinz Rühmann and Peter Lorre, among others .
The film was shot in Rovinj, Yugoslavia . An old warship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, built in 1910, was discovered in Pula , which the authorities left to the film team for ten days after long negotiations with a crew of ninety men. It baptized it with the name "Archduke Max" and hoisted the black and yellow Habsburg flag on it in the middle of socialist Yugoslavia.
The Austrian film premiered in Germany on July 6, 1962. The Austrian premiere took place on August 10, 1962.
Wolf Witzemann designed the film structures.
For both the acting veteran Hans Olden and his colleague Viktor Afritsch , This is the sailors' love meant the farewell performance in the movie.
Reviews
Paimann's film lists summed up: "One of the hang-ups, filmed according to antics, for the usual comedian solos and duets in a corrupt kuk milieu, with an old title and new hits, bearded jokes and stressed situations ..."
"Klamaukfilm, set at the time of the First World War."
