Der Fürst von Pappenheim is a German film game from 1952 by Hans Deppe with Viktor de Kowa in the title role and Hannelore Schroth as the princess on the run. The story is based on the operetta of the same name (1922) by Arnold and Bach .

action

The eponymous Prince von Pappenheim is by no means a representative of the high nobility, but is only called Fürst, more precisely: Egon Fürst, and works as an impeccably and elegantly dressed salesman with the best manners in the fine Berlin fashion salon of Madeleine Pappenheim. One of the salons was commissioned for bridal equipment: the alleged South American millionaire Juan Pablo de Gonzales was thinking of marrying a young dancer named Stefanie Vernon, whom he had advertised for as long as he had been intensely. The enterprising salesman only received the order because he had introduced himself, not completely untruthfully, as “Prince of Pappenheim”.

The capable employee immediately falls in love with the young lady, who does not seem too happy, who was only able to bring herself to the upcoming marriage after long pressure from the oily South American. Then Egon finds out by chance that the sleazy southerner is a fake penny and a fraud. In truth, Stefanie is not a penniless little dancer, but rather an heiress of millions, and Juan Pablo de Gonzales, who found this out, now hopes to be able to thoroughly rehabilitate himself through her marriage to Stefanie. With the courageous intervention of Prince von Pappenheim, a marriage with the crook can be thwarted, and Egon himself leads the young lady to the altar.

Reviews

Der Spiegel wrote: “The newer jokes by the screenwriter Bobby E. Lüthge fit in seamlessly under" Old Master "Deppe's direction. Modest revue glitz, the inevitable girl's cloakrooms, a bit of the Riviera, extensive fashion show, mediocre slang and starry: Hannelore Schroth sings with a pumped voice, Victor de Kowa wriggles like an original young man, Oskar Sima and Siegfried Breuer compete in oily congestion, Grethe Weiser and Edith Schollwer in a mature Kodderschnauze. "

In the lexicon of the international film it says: "Little stencil-like, gaudy film operetta."
