Hollandmädel is a German film swank from 1953 by J. A Hübler-Kahla with Sonja Ziemann in the title role and Hans Moser and Paul Henckels as two fighters who are in a competition.
action
Romeo and Juliet in the Dutch lowlands. Cheese manufacturer Knoop and tulip grower Leuwendahl, who live next door to each other, are engaged in an ongoing guerrilla war. Above all, the love between Antje Leuwendahl and Jan Knoop, the two children of the bitter fighters, suffers from this. That the two young people could ever get together with the blessing of their two fathers seems hopeless. The quarrel between the old crossheads actually sparked off a long-ago triviality. Both men were passionate about the singer Molly. While the old Knoop gave his new tube cheese the name “Molly”, Leuwendahl did the same with a revolutionary new variety of tulips. This coincidence also extended to their German business relationships and is a serious problem for them. The fragrance specialist Brisling, who works out special fragrance creations for both one and the other, is caught between the two fronts.
In the end, the two old rivals even scramble over a simple arbor, which stands exactly on the border strip of both properties, and which each of them tries to pull onto their own property with the help of ropes. The good piece is torn apart in the middle. When the lovers Antje and Jan, who are just turtling there, come to light, the anger of the two fathers is at first limitless. As a punishment, the young people are banished to their rooms. Now Brisling has to act as a postillon d'amour between Jan and Antje and transports love messages hidden in Knoops cheese. Cheese merchant Quietsch travels to Holland from Berlin to inspect Knoop's creation “Molly”, while Cologne biology professor Schmidtchen does the same to take a closer look at his “Molly” tulip. Their wives immediately become suspicious when they find out that their husbands are going to a certain "Molly". You travel to the allegedly unfaithful spouse and try to find out more on your own. Ms. Schmidtchen should visit Mr. Quietsch in order to squeeze him out about Molly while Ms. Quietsch tries to do the same with Prof. Schmidtchen.
The two gentlemen arriving don't have it easy either. They had to sit on a pool table because all hotel rooms were booked out and were constantly disturbed by a certain Mr. Sugar and his buddy Mr. Zimt at night because they wanted to play pool. When almost everyone involved shows up the next morning at the big Dutch flower parade, said Molly also appears. But she doesn't seem to be interested in Knoop or Leuwendahl, but rather approaches sugar and cinnamon, as these seem to be wealthy. In between, the cheese Antje from Holland sings the title song “Hollandmädel”. Immediately afterwards, she consults with Jan and Brisling on how to escape the bossy fathers. When one of the fathers overhears the meeting, a big mess begins in which the two lovers accidentally drink a sleeping pill, which incapacitates them and prevents the forced marriage. Then Knoop accidentally rushes off with Antje and Leuwendahl by mistake with Jan in their own car, in the firm belief that they have heaved their own child on board and thus saved them from a great stupidity. During the wild ride, the vehicles land in the ditch. When sugar and cinnamon turn up, turn out to be muggers and exchange their identification documents with those of Knoop and Leuwendahl, the confusion is perfect. The police arrest the wrong men, Knoop and Leuwendahl, while the crooks almost escape. Knoop and Leuwendahl, presumed to be thieves, are tied up by the police and have to get along willy-nilly for the next few hours. Now they have enough time to talk to each other. The huge mess is only cleared up by Molly.
Meanwhile, to make matters worse, Antje and Jan have fallen out with each other, because both accuse the other of being to blame for the failed escape. They quarrel at the flower festival. Now it is up to the gradually reconciling fathers to bring both of them to their senses. Leuwendahl and Knoop pretend to fight, so that their two children bury their quarrel. Since Brisling was to blame for replacing the sleeping powder with all the consequences that followed, Jan now wants to tackle the fragrance specialist. But he doesn't feel like all this madness anymore and runs off quickly. While the adults chase after Brisling, Jan and Antje decide to sneak to the wedding mill in order to finally get married there. During the wedding, Knoop and Leuwendahl, the Pietschs and the Schmidtchen also arrive, and they not only celebrate a general reconciliation, but also a marriage.

Reviews
Der Spiegel wrote: “The dramatic knot of the extremely casualty plot is tied from the three-dimensional notion that behind the name Molly a) a price tulip, b) a price cheese and c) Ethel Reschke are hidden. The (incomprehensibly) not even colored film shrinks in one and a half arduous hours like the clothes of the comedian phalanx (Moser, Henckels, Löck, Platte) exposed to an extensive fire brigade shower. "
In the lexicon of the international film it says: "Intrusive situation comedy and shallow hits determine the flat Heimatfilm version, which all in all was a fruitless attempt to repeat Sonja Ziemann's great audience success in" Schwarzwaldmädel "."
