action

The shy lawyer and bachelor Dr. Georg Schönberger meets a simple and apparently a little naive girl, with whom he falls head over heels in love. His best friend, the womanizer and charmer Andreas Gallhofer, however, considers this Christine Rauch to be particularly ingenious and whispers to Georg that her alleged innocence "trick" is a particularly ingenious method of catching a man. Andreas tries by all means to bring the two fiancés apart again and already has an alternative ready for his friend Georg: the experienced, sophisticated and equally blonde Marianne. At Andreas's instigation, Georg and Marianne go on a journey to get to know each other and make love to the sunny south.

Outraged by his interference, Christine trudges over to Andreas with anger to give him her opinion. He has to revise his preconceived attitude towards Christine very soon, as it is completely different from what he had initially suspected. After numerous misunderstandings and entanglements, the two couples finally meet against their will and decide to leave it as it is: Georg and his sensual Marianne are now finally a couple, and the shy Christine and her tamed Andreas have also fallen in love, so that nothing stands in the way of a marriage soon.

criticism

Paimann's film lists summed up: “This small, Vienna-based subject has been prepared with a high level of audience appeal; by a director who also made a successful commentary, with cheerful actors, playing in Vienna, Venice and St. Wolfgang (exterior shots) and nice interiors. (...) Effect: quite entertaining. "

“Frivolous comedy, staged routinely, but without wit and charm. Ambiguous allusions should give the film a certain kick, but only seem stale and embarrassing. "
