A golden deal is a German silent film fun drama filmed in 1916 by and with Rudolf del Zopp and with Manny Ziener in the female lead.
action
The young Walter Stiller has an idea that, in his eyes, should promise a “golden deal”. Therefore he goes to the millionaire Mr. Kronau, who is supposed to finance his idea. Stiller plans to set up an insurance company that will specialize in insuring female customers against celibacy. To show how much he likes this idea, Kronau first insures his own daughter Hedwig. But soon it turns out that there is a huge worm in this idea: Especially old maids and women who are not very handsome, who are very difficult to get, really want to take out a policy, while the pretty young ones show no interest, so that “Golden business” threatens to become a huge loss.
In order to set a good example in front of the grumbling shareholders, Walter even shows himself ready to sacrifice himself and marry an ugly old woman. Kronau also wants to help keep the new company's losses within limits, and so he agrees to marry the corpulent and rather unsightly Laura Immergrün, his own housekeeper. But both men get away with it again: Another man, a certain Jumbo striker from Australia, has already asserted older rights on Miss Immergrün, and Hedwig, who was also insured, marries Stiller, the man with this "famous" business idea.
Production notes

criticism
"Manny Ziener as the leading actress lets her temper take all the reins, she delights us with her exuberant and high-spirited amiability with which she lets her husband perform a coup against a boastful competitor. This comedy also has the advantage of not being too long. "
