action

The American Pat Hoover, daughter of a rich German hotelier, is supposed to attend the hotel vocational school in Bad Wiessee , but has no desire to do so. She much prefers to go to Paris, where she wants to meet her lover Billy. So she hires the music student Lissy, who is supposed to represent her at the school. Lissy comes from Yugoslavia, so speaks German with an accent, so that the dizziness shouldn't be noticed. Lissy agrees to the comedy, but Pat pays her and can thus finance her studies. She appears at school with clothes and chewing gum from Pat and is greeted euphorically by the directors Dorothea and Amandus, as the arrival of the daughter of a millionaire also means a bright future for the school. Lissy can only maintain the masquerade at the beginning with difficulty.

Amandus' nephew Max senses an unlikely game in the supposedly superficial American, but Lissy overhears him and is able to expose him on an excursion with the other students at the school. After a while, Lissy and Max get to know each other better and fall in love. The situation becomes more complicated when Pat's lover Billy appears in the village, who secretly wants to visit his girlfriend because Pat's father is against the relationship. Little did he know at the time that Pat was in Paris. Billy realizes, of course, that Lissy is not Pat, but plays the game because he fell head over heels in love with the kiosk seller Steffi and does not miss Pat. Max, in turn, finds out that Billy is Pats / Lissy's friend and believes that Lissy only played with him. He turns away from Lissy so that she has no chance to explain the obscure situation to him.

In Bad Wiessee, thanks to Lissy's support, there will be a lake festival that Max has wanted to organize for a long time. So far it has always failed due to Amandus' resistance. At the festival, to Lissy's dismay, Mr. Hoover also announces himself as a guest. In a great hurry, Pat is fetched from Paris to take her place in the school and everything goes well. The festival, at which the current beauty queens and various singers and dancers perform, will be a great success. Max realizes that Lissy was not the American and therefore not Billy's friend either, and a reconciliation ensues. Billy, in turn, gives up Pat and meets Steffi.

criticism

The program magazine Hörzu wrote that Rudolf Schündler had “made a special kind of homeland film with this comedy” […] in which “alongside Elma Karlowa and Bert Fortell in the main roles, young Harald Juhnke in particular can be admired in the role of the American fiancé Bill " be. The overall rating was: "acceptable".

On the Country Mag site , it was of the opinion that “whoever appreciates the enchanting landscape of Tegernsee” will “certainly be very impressed by the pictures shown here”. Anyone who still “had a soft spot for the hit films of the time” would “also be very satisfied here”, because the film contained “all the expected ingredients: a story that should not be taken very seriously, some of the actors known at the time, a couple of nice song titles , and a happy ending ”.
