Hans and Hanni is a German silent film fun play from 1915 with Hanni Weisse in the title role.

action

At the center of the turbulent plot are two young people who couldn't be more different. Hans von Rohden is the son from a good family, his mother a respected widow general. Hanni von Zähringen is the daughter of a former ambassador and a tomboy whom nobody can really tame. Count Zähringen wants nothing more than a young, strong man who could relieve him of this work in the future. The choice falls on Hans. A meeting between the two of them at the Zähringen manor is cleverly arranged. Hans comes with his chaperon, his own mother. With a lot of effort, the two marriage candidates are rubbed the advantages of marriage under their noses. Neither of them immediately suspected that they should be paired up.

After a misunderstanding, both of them decide to get out of here as quickly as possible and, at the instigation of the enterprising Hanni, decide to disappear to Berlin. There the funny problems start with the fact that the selected hotel no longer has single rooms, but only one with a double bed. They have to come to terms with things and soon experience other adventures, for example when Hanni rides a stubborn donkey or Hans targets other people with caricatures. In the end, however, the old Count and Hans von Rohden's mother managed to turn the cheerful duo of friends Hans and Hanni into a real couple.

Production notes

Hans and Hanni was created in the Vitascope studio in Berlin-Weißensee . The three-act film was censored in December 1914 and premiered in January 1915 in UT Kurfürstendamm.

criticism

“Hanni Weisse plays the main role and she does this in her own exuberance. Your partner doesn't skimp on the happy mood either and this creates a comedy pace that moves quickly over the funny scenes and has something whirlwind about it. (...) The three-act film fun game belongs to a very good class. "
