action
The two slightly idiot-looking petty thugs Emil Kowalek and Heini Haase fall into their hands with two military uniforms when they break into a barracks of the Bundeswehr. Since they have known since the success of Hauptmann von Köpenick in 1906, at the latest , that the German sui generis has enormous respect for uniformed officials, they come up with a splendid idea. You travel to a small town and spread the rumor that a new garrison would soon be set up there. Now, with some skill, they begin to research the politically gloomy past of one or the other flatmate and derive their own benefit from this knowledge. The concept should prove to be so successful that Emil and Heini are considering going on a city tour with this scam. As soon as they arrive in the next small town, they start their successful method again, relying entirely on the effect of their uniform. But this time things go wrong and they are arrested.
Production notes
The film was made in the summer of 1960 in the Real Film Studios in Hamburg-Tonndorf under the title Crooks in Uniform . As there were concerns about this title on the part of the state, the film was renamed "Hauptmann, Deine Sterne" a few days before its premiere and was shown for the first time on October 14, 1960 in Düsseldorf.
Gyula Trebitsch was the production manager. Herbert Kirchhoff and Albrecht Becker designed the film structures.
Reviews
“Under Geza von Cziffras direction, Robert Graf and Peter Vogel are heroes of a Köpenickiade in Bundeswehr uniform. Well, it doesn't exactly tear you off your seat with amusement. But at least the approaches to cabaret criticism of the time never flag up until the end of the film, so that the swank quickly goes across the screen. (...) Maria Sebaldt as the hotel secretary's "stupid" is lovely. "
In the lexicon of the international film it says: "Accidental sway in the waters of the politics of the Adenauer era, bland and boring."
