action

Hat manufacturer Hubert Krempe is furious: His company no longer makes sales because everyone has only one head. When his employee Gunther Kleinhirsch came back from vacation in Tyrol two days later than agreed, he fired him. However, Krempe changed his mind when he saw that Gunther was wearing a Tyrolean hat that his girlfriend Zenzi had given him as a souvenir. Since Tyrolean hats are practically unknown in the big city, Krempe now wants to produce these hats. He sends Gunther back to Tyrol for research and advertising. Gunther also kidnaps his friend, the composer Gerd Raupach, when he does not want to come along, but rather wants to work in the recording studio with his girlfriend Lucy Barner. Arrived in the Tyrolean village of Kirchberg, Gerd is initially not enthusiastic, but soon takes a liking to the journalist Karin Leisner. Meanwhile, Lucy and Evelyn Krempe, the hat manufacturer's daughter, are planning to see that things are going well in Kirchbach. Lucy suspects that Gerd is cheating on her, while Evelyn is sure that Gunther is less working than spending time with his girlfriend Zenzi. Both women see each other confirmed upon arrival and Lucy separates from Gerd. Since she let Karin know that she was engaged to Gerd, she feels betrayed and now refuses any further contact with the composer.

Gerd is working with Gunther on an advertising song for the Tyrolean hat, which is given the appropriate title I prefer to buy a Tyrolean hat . They are helped by the shy Manfred Ratschenkofer, who plays the drums but actually has to work in his mother's felt factory. He'd rather be a musician. Manfred meets Evelyn, who introduces herself to him as a world traveler, whereupon he claims to be a musician. The two quickly become a couple. Gunther and the now free Lucy also get closer, while Gerd tries in vain to win Karin back. In the village, too, there is strife caused by the Ratschenkoferin. Gunther wants to start a special advertising campaign for the Tyrolean hat. For this he has invited various beauty queens to Kirchberg who are supposed to present the Tyrolean hat in bikini. The Ratschenkoferin not only fears a moral decline in the village, but also that the tradition of the Tyrolean hat will be abused by strangers. She tries to get the rifle club against the planned event, but the gentlemen are very impressed by the idea of ​​lightly clad women with Tyrolean hats. Only the women of the shooting club are outraged. Shortly before the event, they kidnap the models and lock them in a haystack. Gunther and his friends rush to reschedule. Zenzi, Lucy, Evelyn and Karin, who was reconciled with Gerd, now step in as models.

Hubert still tries to save the event with the right models. He agreed on a deal with the Ratschenkoferin that stipulates that her felt factory should supply the material for the Krempe's hats in the future. In addition, both agree to the marriage of their children Evelyn and Manfred, who have already secretly wanted to flee together. When the Ratschenkoferin wants to free the trapped models, she is also locked in the barn by the women of the shooting club. However, all women can escape in time and appear at the last second at the festival where the Tyrolean hats are presented. Of course, the finished hit “I'd rather buy a Tyrolean hat” is sung loudly. In the end, the couples Lucy and Gunther, Evelyn and Manfred as well as Karin and Gerd find each other.

criticism

The film-dienst described the work as a “ready-made film about the creation of the hit of the same name. A lot of music, a few stars and many who would like to become one should replace the missing ideas. Bland entertainment without any oomph. ”The Protestant film observer blows in the same horn :“ Parade of stars of light entertainment music put together without any manual effort, which one can definitely save. "

On the Remember it for later page, it was pointed out that the third feature film by Hans Billian was composed of "exactly the same elements" as something Grimms When the Music Played at Wörthersee , Billian's own directorial debut Übermut in the Salzkammergut or Hofbauer's Thousand Takts Übermut . As in Grimm's film, Hubert von Meyerinck gives a metropolitan entrepreneur who sends an employee to Austria for a job. If that was at the Wörthersee after Eddie Arent, Gus Backus, who also acts in the other films, is now taking over this role, as is Hannelore Auer, who is once again responsible for the “glamor factor”. Which of these hit films one now prefers (“if one can get anything from them”) is probably “highly arbitrary”. The Wörthersee film was simply "too nice and too little peppy," the two cockiness films were characterized by "high tempo and successful, put forward with a lot of drive slapstick of"; the Tyrolean hat, on the other hand, is "a little weaker". You can clearly see that he is “in a sense an epigone, the attempt to repeat a recipe for success again”. But it's still fun ...
