action
The Argentine beau Mauricio and the German orphan Laura love each other, but the guardian of the underage girl is against this relationship and wants to prevent the planned wedding. In the greatest desperation, the violently quarreling, unhappy couple then decides to put an end to both lives. They hear gunshots from a nearby hotel room and a critically injured man throws the couple with the last of his strength a bag full of bundles of money, asking them to help his toddler who had been kidnapped by gangsters. Then the man dies.
In Mauricio and Laura new (over) spirits awaken, and they both are determined to fulfill the last wish of the dying person with the ransom they received. The couple traveling back and forth through the endless expanses of rural Argentina are persecuted, at times mistaken for the kidnappers themselves and even threatened by a man with a revolver. Finally the two manage to save the blond baby from the hands of the criminals. The dangers they have overcome have rekindled and strengthened their love, and with a renewed courage to face life, the couple is optimistic about a future together.
Production notes
I would like to live with you was made in 1959 in several places in Argentina, at such picturesque locations as the Iguassu Falls , in Junín de los Andes on the border with Chile and in the Argentine winter sports and tourist center Bariloche in the heart of so-called "Argentine Switzerland". The world premiere took place on May 25, 1960.
The co-producing German film company Transocean International Film- und Fernseh-Ges. mbH in 1 Berlin 12, which was also responsible for world sales, announced the German premiere in the mid-1960s. However, an exact German cinema premiere is not verifiable. This may have been due to the premature death of the Berlin resident Iranian Vasgen Badal who died at the end of 1959, i.e. before the world premiere. I want to live with you passed the FSK exam on September 8, 1961 and was approved for young people aged 12 and over. In Germany, however, the film could only be viewed with certainty on July 3, 1990, when it was first broadcast on German television on Sat.1 . The version shown there is over twenty minutes shorter than the Argentine original. In Austria, however, where the film was shown under the lurid title Love, Curves and Bandits , I would like to live with you already started on December 2, 1960.
annotation
For Susanne Cramer, who moved to Hollywood in 1963, I would like to live with you was the first (largely unsuccessful and internationally barely noticed) attempt to gain a foothold in international film. In the original Spanish version, Susanne Cramer was dubbed by Nelly Meden .
Reviews
Paimann's film lists summed up the Austrian distribution title: “This time the curves are drawn by road cruisers, the bandits remain in the background and that little bit of love hardly justifies the title. (...) The background music is unobtrusive, the color film technique the interesting argent. Landscape pictures successful. "
"Completely illogically structured love comedy that wants to be a crime film at the same time, but fails on both levels."
