The Bad Boys is a German silent film fun play by Richard Löwenbein from 1915 with Ernst Mátray and Else Eckersberg in a double role.
action
The "bad guys" are two inseparable friends who, however, only have nonsense on their minds. This time they are in competition with one another for the heart of a young lady who, in search of her future, came up with a rather funny and at the same time absurd idea: she tied a piece of paper with her photo to the foot of a pigeon and let it fly. Anyone who finds the pigeon could have legitimate hopes for the young lady's heart.
The "bad guys" kill the bird without further ado and immediately start looking for the owner. Disguised as young women, they invade the girls' boarding school where the young woman is supposed to live. How one of them now receives Else Eckertsberg and "the other one gets the mischievous girl's sister as his wife, forms the further, in places diaphragmatic continuation of the film".
Production notes
Die Bad Buben was made in the spring of 1915 in the Greenbaum film studio in Berlin-Weißensee , passed film censorship in August of the same year and was probably premiered a little later. The comedy had three acts.
The bad boys can thematically be seen as a variation of the comedy Eine Lausbubengeschichte , which the same team (producer Greenbaum, leading actors Eckersberg and Mátray) had shot shortly before.
criticism
“'The Bad Boys' ... is a cheerful boarding school story ... It should be mentioned that Else Eckertsberg [sic!] Appears in a double role ... A scene in which you can see the double role in both roles at the same time is extraordinarily skillful and amazing . This trick gives the film an unspeakable humorous ending. "
