action

Hugo Schröder and Julius Schromm are the owners of a thriving Viennese clothing store that promised the women of those years elegance and fashionable chic. In order to keep the company in family ownership forever, the two old men plan that Schromm's son Fritz, a womanizer and carefree Luftikus, should marry Schröder's daughter Eva. Although Fritz in particular has little desire to do so, he finally gives in to his parents' will and becomes engaged to the good Eva. Nevertheless, he does not want to break up his relationship with the racy and above all more sensual and spirited dancer Raffaela Raffay. Even though Eva hasn't exactly lost her heart to Fritz, after learning about Fritz's amours with Raffaela, she still doesn't like being shown like that and is therefore planning a campaign of revenge. The shy young woman replied to an advertisement in which it was a little fiddly: “A smart gentleman driver is looking for a lovely companion”. The advertiser is called Rolf Reimann, is a successful author and basically just as shy as Eva. Eva does not (yet) suspect that this is supposed to be a journey of love and experience. And she suspects even less that Rolf is a friend of her fiancé Fritz. The fact is that he has blasphemed about Rolf's romance novels that they would only spring from his imagination anyway and that he, Rolf, should finally write about something amorous, which he had actually experienced himself. From this idea the advertisement finally arose.

Between the two lovebirds, who are actually quite uptight against their will, the shyness and cramping inherent in them only gradually dissolves on the journey. When you arrive at the weekend house in the middle of Mother Nature, Eva and Rolf have to realize that the chosen love arbor is already occupied by another couple. When one sees one another, all fours flee without having been face to face. This is better that way, because the fiery tomboy Raffaela had kidnapped old Schröder here to seduce him and thus take revenge on Eva for her engagement to Fritz. The escape of the two couples leads to the nearest hotel. Here Eva and Rolf have to be content with the shed, which is not yet fully booked, due to a lack of space. Fritz Schromm has meanwhile followed Hugo's jealous wife, Berta Schröder, after the missing husband in the car and is now also arriving at the hotel. When Berta knocks on her husband's hotel room door, cursing wildly, the latter can avoid the worst by letting poor Raffaela plunge into the full bathtub. Eva storming in saves her father from the worst, Berta's rage. Raffaelas Chéri Fritz arrives a little later and passionately kisses the soaking wet Raffaela who has emerged from the tub. He has his mistress, Eva and Rolf get together, and the Schröders' marriage is saved. So there is still a happy ending for everyone involved.

Reviews

In the lexicon of the international film it says succinctly: "Confusion play off the rack, without chic and elegant lines."

The 3sat press release advertised the film on the occasion of its television broadcast as a “funny game of confusion”

At tvtoday.de it says: "If you don't mind the harmlessness of this comedy, you can smile quietly to yourself."
