Marriage Institute Aurora is a 1961 German feature film with Carlos Thompson and Eva Bartok in the leading roles.
action
Eva Horn was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment in a circumstantial trial for the poisoning of her husband, the banker Lewandowski, which she did not commit. After five years, at the instigation of her lawyer Dr. Burgmüller, who is still convinced of the innocence of his client, granted her a one-week prison holiday for the first time. Eva uses this free time to find the real culprit, supported by Burgmüller. A hot lead leads to the Berlin marriage initiation institute Aurora, which is run by a mysterious baroness. In this ambience Eva gets to know the nonchalant but also a little useless charmer Christinow Tomkin, whom the baroness considers her institute's own decoy for interested ladies of the upper class.
Eva immediately clings to Tomkin's heels. Soon the two opponents begin to feel for each other. Meanwhile, the mysterious baroness, who in truth is anything but aristocratic and in reality is called "Kutschke", is trying more and more to raise a lot of money with her questionable institute, as she has to feed her ill-willed son, Friedrich. This squandered mother's earnings preferentially in gambling dens. After much back and forth, Eva's brother-in-law Arnold Lewandowski is identified as the real perpetrator, and the young woman no longer has to go back to prison and is free for her Christinow.

Reviews
“Two fashionable themes - miscarriage of justice and commercial marriage initiation - are merged into a story based on the 'Listen' novel of the same name, which gives the actors Eva Bartok and Carlos Thompson the opportunity to suspect and love each other for a long time: as innocent convicts from banking circles , he as - economically - weakened renowned man, decoy of the title institute and alleged murderer. At most Elisabeth Flickenschildt in the role of the pseudo-aristocratic marriage broker gives the piece, appropriately made by director Wolfgang Schleif, a touch of reality from her own resources. "
Paimann's film lists summed up: “Not a comedy, as the title suggests, but a milieu-safe crime story; only staged with a bit of dialogue. "
"An honest crime film based on the formula: Who is the murderer?"
“Rigid and upright, without whistle or tension. Conclusion: Nothing is happening in this institute. "
