action

The representative Zatke bought a television set shortly before his wedding, but he cannot pay off the payment on time. In order to get the 800 D-Marks still outstanding, he visits the office of a gang of fraudsters, whose director appears under the name Ehrlich . He pretends that his company is very important by faking a telephone conversation with high-ranking business partners when Zatke enters and does not want to lend Zatke an amount less than 3,000 marks. Under the pretext of various lump sums for creating an index, obtaining information, etc. the like, Zatke are initially unbuttoned 140 marks; the office employees promise to receive the money the following day - on condition that he then presents with a surety. He chooses his future brother-in-law to act as guarantor, who as an employee of the criminal police uses this opportunity to catch the gang of fraudsters in the act. To do this, the next day, while Zatke and the brother-in-law are in the director's office, two other plainclothes police officers enter the office in order to secretly look into the files and the storage room with the label “cashier”. In the presence of the police officer, Director Ehrlich Zatke pulls more money out of his pocket. When Zatke is finally pretended shortly before the money is paid out that the cashier has gambled away the stored money and is about to kill himself, the brother-in-law reveals his identity as an investigator. Zatke gets the money, which is still missing, through his brother-in-law, whom the criminal police express special praise for the work he has done.

background

The existence of the film remained unknown for a long time and the story of how it was made still remains. It was not until the 2010s that two film roles were discovered in a private Viennese collection with material by the director Hübler-Kahla. Because of the equipment and the scene image as well as the biographies of performers and staff, it was assumed that the film was produced in a period 1958-1962. This fits in with the fact that Erhardt's production company “Heinz Erhardt Productions”, founded in 1960, later “made a series of short films, each lasting a little more than half an hour, with the NDR , such as' Adventure in Norfolk ',' Willi Winzig ',' Der Kurpfuscher 'and' A certain Marietta '. In these novella-like short stories, which come to a point culminating , Erhardt sometimes appears as a bookseller, tax officer or miracle healer. ”The exterior shots shown in the film show various motor vehicles, including a Ford P3 (“ bathtub ”). This car was produced from 1960, so the completion / editing of the film cannot have taken place before 1960. Due to numerous letters from viewers to the NDR after the first broadcast in early 2015, the spring of 1961 could be determined as the production time. The broadcast tape was supplemented by a corresponding note after the credits.

West side of Karlsplatz, Munich

When it was first broadcast on January 6, 2015 on NDR television , Erhardt's former broadcaster, the film reached 1.72 million viewers with a market share of 6.1 percent. The broadcaster embedded the short film in the television documentary Heinz Erhardt ist Kult! from 2013 as well as a specially produced short documentation on the circumstances of the discovery. In this, Erhardt fan Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt , Heinz Erhardt's granddaughter Nicola Tyszkiewicz and the Austrian collector Helmut Werner , who acquired the work from the dissolved Viennese film collection, express themselves . Tyszkiewicz found no reference to the production in Erhardt's extensive private estate. Werner was also unable to research evidence of the work on various broadcasters. Meyer-Burckhardt thinks it is possible that the production took place at Bavaria Film because of the outdoor shots at Sendlinger Tor . Contrary to what Meyer-Burckhardt said, the exterior shots of Munich at night show the western side of Munich's Stachus with the Pini-Haus and the Kaufhof branch there.

Erhardt's granddaughter Nicola Tyszkiewicz and Erhardt expert Helmut Werner report on the discovery of film in the one-hour documentary “Big premiere with a little delay” by Fiction Factory Filmproduktion. As a biographer and Schmidtmer expert, Dirk Berger also provides information on the actress Christiane Schmidtmer , who made her film debut in "Geld Sofort" and made her career in Hollywood a few years later.
