Fräulein Pfiffikus is a medium-length, German silent film fun game from 1917 by Franz Hofer with Hella Moja in the title role.
action
At the aristocratic Hedda the men willing to marry stand in line. Since the perky Fraulein von Hagen is in great demand, she does not even receive the gentlemen who yearn for her. When the handsome Count Bodo von Hassenstein announced himself, she pricked up her ears, because he is someone of class and also looks smart. And so she sends her father over to take a look at the young man. Actually, the smart young woman does not want to get married at all, and how this Bodo already appears! Smoking a cigar and drinking schnapps - that can't be a man for life, she thinks. Even Bodo doesn't let himself be deterred or intimidated by Heddas, sometimes more brittle and repellent, but sometimes also in a mischievous way, and after a while he leaves in as nonchalant a way as he came.
Since Count Bodo doesn't hear from him anymore and lets them cook on a small flame, Hedda soon begins to regret her appearance. It annoys her that this guy is not hanging on her lips like all other men and is ready to read every wish in her eyes. Your upcoming 19th birthday is therefore a good opportunity to catch up on what you have missed. Count Bodo is also invited, but once he has arrived, he does not care about the birthday child at all and leaves it by the wayside. Playful board games such as sack race are held and the tallest of the men, Bodo von Hassenstein, wins a dance with Hedda as a prize. Then finally the two get closer and the first engagement kiss is exchanged.

criticism
“One funny idea follows the other in the funny plot, which is overflowing with funny situations. Lina Salten is the sweetest high spirits you can think of. With perfect art she gives first the brittle and then the devoted Fraulein von Hagen. Carl Auen as Count Bodo is a worthy partner who, with the rogue in mind, masters the most fatal moments with serious calm. The set of the film is very successful. "
