Die Zwillinge vom Zillertal is a German homeland film by Harald Reinl from 1957. When it was shown again in cinemas in 1976, it was shown under the title Zillertal, Du bist mei Freud .
action
Baron Franz von Auerstein works as an engineer and comes back on vacation to the Zillertal , where his mother lives at Auerstein Castle. Instead of staying in the castle, the young baron prefers to stay with his girlfriends, the twins Christel and Reserl, in a mountain hut. What he doesn't know is that Auerstein Castle is about to be sold. There is a high mortgage of 500,000 schillings on the castle and the debts are suddenly to be paid off. When Baroness von Auerstein found out, her old friend Kleemann was with her. The perfume manufacturer has long wanted to be aristocratic and offers the baroness a million schillings for a marriage between his daughter Daniela and the young baron. The baroness reluctantly agrees to the deal, but makes it a condition that Franz should not find out about the money worries and the money trade. She then tells her astonished son that he should marry Daniela, which Franz refuses. Daniela, too, is not very enthusiastic about the prospect of marrying Franz, but her father threatens to send her to boarding school otherwise. The only reason for not marrying would be if Franz voluntarily refused. Daniela now decides to appear as improperly as possible.
By chance Daniela meets the enthusiastic mountaineer Franz on a high alp, where he saves her from a chamois . He introduces himself to her as a gamshirt and a good friend of the baron, whom Daniela immediately complains about. In front of her father, on the other hand, she raves about the chamois A little later Daniela and Franz face each other in the castle and are introduced to each other. Both quickly come to an agreement that they are not interested in getting married and tell their mother and father, respectively. Only now does the baroness confess to her son that money worries were the reason for the planned marriage. Franz and Daniela now want to pretend they are a couple for a while so that Kleemann will give the baroness the promised million. The money is handed over and Franz starts planning the conversion of the castle into a castle hotel. In addition, he neglects Daniela, who also reacts jealously because he always has time left for the twins Christel and Reserl. In front of both of them, she presents herself exaggerated as Franz's lover, whereupon the young girls leave the castle in piquancy.
There is a confusion of love. Reserl falls in love with the sensational reporter Konstantin Opel, while Daniela begins to be interested in Hans Burger, the waiter at the Roter Adler inn . One day when Daniela is looking for something to read, she turns to him because she always saw him reading in the evening. She also reports on the books to Hans' boss Schmauss. What Daniela does not know and only learns later from Hans is that he is actually studying law and is about to take his state examination. Schmauss also finds the Jura-Werke with Hans and therefore knows that he is a student. He thought he might one day give Hans the owner of the inn, and is now saddened that Hans never told him the truth. Hans, on the other hand, believes Daniela betrayed Schmauss that he was studying, even though she had promised not to tell his boss about it, especially since she had in return confessed that she and Franz only pretend to be in love. So Hans separates from Daniela and leaves the village. Franz in turn realizes over time that he loves Christel.
At a folk festival, the more self-confident Christel manages to get Constantine to make a confession of love and kiss them. She pretends to be Reserl. When Konstantin proposes to her, Christel and Reserl swap roles again. However, the foster father of the twins Gschwandtner saw Christel and Konstantin kissing. At the folk festival, Franz wins the traditional prize rings and has Christel bring him the wreath. A kiss is also part of the win and it is longer than expected between Christel and Franz. The next day, however, the twins have disappeared and Gschwandtner informs Franz that the singing sisters have gone on tour with Konstantin. Christel, in turn, is in love with Constantine because they kissed deeply at the party. Franz and Daniela, who was abandoned by Hans, decide to marry according to their parents' wishes.
The church wedding is followed by the way to the registry office. Meanwhile, Hans, who has successfully passed his state examination, and the twins, who meet Hans and Schmauss during their tour, find out that Daniela and Franz only wanted a sham relationship. Schmauss, in turn, reports to Hans that Daniela never told him about her studies, only that Hans always read in the evening. Everyone is now going to the Zillertal to prevent Franz and Daniela from getting married. In fact, they arrive on time and a little later there is a four-fold wedding: Hans and Daniela become a married couple, Franz and Christel as well as Konstantin and Reserl. The Kleemann and von Auerstein families are also united, since the Baroness and Mr. Kleemann are also getting married.
production
The Zillertal twins were announced to the press in March 1956. However, the template by Karl Heinz Busse at the time did not correspond to the film that was finally made. In the first planning phase, the twin daughters of an industrialist should go camping together. One wanted to take this opportunity to examine candidates who had responded to their marriage advertisement. However, these are received by the other twin sister, who is now doing everything possible to appear as unsympathetic as possible. At a party, on the other hand, the first twin sister who is looking for a partner and the friend of the second who feels neglected eventually become a couple. Before shooting began, the script was completely rewritten, so that it was now noted in the opening credits that the film was based on an idea by Karl Heinz Busse.
Filming for the film began on June 23, 1957 and was completed by the end of July. Filming locations included the Gerlos Pass and Plateau, the Krimml Waterfalls , Innsbruck and Zell am Ziller . Auerstein Castle was found in Matzen Castle in Reith in the Alpbachtal . The interior photos were taken in the Carlton studios. Josef Dor created the costumes and Arne Flekstad designed the film . The film premiered on September 26, 1957 in the Stuttgart universe .

criticism
The film-dienst called the film "insignificant and boringly staged and despite the magnificent scenery of the Zillertal only of little entertainment value." It was a "home film loaded with pseudo folkloristic snapshots ..."
Cinema wrote: “Adrenaline-free from 'Winnetou' director Reinl. Conclusion: Extremely upright and boringly staged ”.
