Joy of Life is a German comedy film and a music film by director Hans Steinhoff from 1934. Dorit Kreysler plays the leading role as the attractive waitress Gusti, who is adored and coveted by all men.

action

Gusti is a lovely waitress in the Bavarian restaurant "Bratwurstglöckl", who is adored and adored by all male guests; there is no shortage of offers to meet. One guest, however, Carl Maria, who has been pampered since his early years, does not like the way things go in the restaurant, and he complains to the manager, who then dismisses Gusti.

As luck would have it, the impoverished chamber singer Gottlieb Bumm won a trip to the Zugspitze for two people in a competition. However, since he lives alone, he offers Gusti to accompany him. Since Gusti is currently without a job, she gladly accepts the offer. As a result, both spend wonderful days and do not pay attention to the expenses that are far beyond their financial possibilities.

Later on, Gusti meets the annoyed local guest Carl Maria, to whom she “owes” her resignation. Immediately the two get into a conflict, which soon subsides. Carl Maria is actually in love with Gusti.
