Försterliesel is a German homeland film by Herbert B. Fredersdorf from 1956.

action

Bartl, the wealthiest farmer in the village of Groß-Kleinberg, is courting young Liesel, known by everyone as Försterliesel. However, she has fallen in love with the young forester Tony, who has been in the village for three weeks and is supposed to take over from her father, the old forester-Bregler, in the long term. Bartl, in turn, is adored by his maid Zenzi, but has only contempt for her. To make Tony's debut more difficult, he also starts poaching . This is all the more critical as the hunter Robert Burgert, who was last there seven years ago, is expected in the village.

The hunting party from town appears. Robert Burgert's wife Carola keeps an eye on Tony - much to Liesel's displeasure - so that Liesel is particularly friendly to Robert during a welcome party in a barn. Meanwhile , in the Silberwald, Bartl kills a twelve-fender that was actually intended for the hunt planned for the next day. Due to the shots, the game has changed so that the hunt can only take place in two days. So the hunting party stays in place longer. To pass the time, Robert Burgert organizes a target shooting and offers three kisses to a lady of his choice as a prize for the winner. He hopes to win himself and be able to kiss Liesel, but Tony and Bartl join the shooting competition, which Liesel's little cousin Heinzl wins in the end.

Liesel avoids the pushy Robert Burgert, while Carola begins to flirt with Bartl. Liesel and Tony get closer as they both rehearse a play. This displeases Robert, who indicates that after his probationary period, which is about to expire, he does not want to hire Tony as the local hunter. Liesel goes to Robert's house alone, but Tony uses a ruse to get her out of the house. During the hunt, Bartl uses the opportunity to talk to Liesel alone. However, she makes it clear to him that she is not interested in him, so that Bartl goes poaching. During the conversation, the gate of Liesel's wild animal gate remained open, as a result of which a fawn in need of care escaped and ran into the Silberwald. Despite the great danger, Liesel goes into the forest, where she passes out after being shot near her. The hunt is stopped, but Tony notices the poacher in the forest and finally turns Bartl down. Then he helps Liesel, who immediately feels better when he sees him. Both come together firmly. Robert wants to bring Bartl to court, but in the end he does without it when he learns that Zenzi, whom Bartl loves, is actually his half-sister, as his father also appreciated the women of the village.

production

Försterliesel was the fourth film in which Anita Gutwell and Rudolf Lenz stood together in front of the camera, after the homeland films Der Förster vom Silberwald and Die Sennerin von St. Kathrein and the comedy Love, Snow and Sunshine . Reference is also made to the great box-office success Der Förster vom Silberwald , in that the forest is also called "Silberwald". The story of the poacher in the Silberwald was also taken up a year later in Der Poacher vom Silberwald , with Gutwell and Lenz again playing the leading roles.

The exterior shots of Försterliesel were filmed in Kals am Großglockner . Lixi Brandtner created the costumes and Wolf Witzemann designed the film . The film music was created by Hans Hagen, who used the song Die Försterlieserl by Jakob Kessler . The film was mass-launched in theaters on October 12, 1956.

criticism

The film service criticized the "poor, only occasionally amusing plot that takes place between flirtation and poaching in the usual framework of the genre", even if the film shows "appealing landscape and animal shots from the Großglockner area". kino.de saw “elaborate recordings of fauna and flora” that “are absolutely fascinating”, but “the plot of jealousy and love affairs is not very convincing”. The film is a “poor copy of the Heimatfilm classic Der Förster vom Silberwald ”, which “has little new to gain from the well-known genre”. The film magazine Cinema found: "Heartache and bland jokes in front of the alpine backdrop."
