action

Cordula, the capable landlady of the hotel “Schwarz-Weisses Rössel”, has only two weeks until the deadline set by her father, who died five years ago, expires, within which she has to marry a man from the hotel trade if she leaves the hotel does not want to lose to her uncle Simon. He had kept the will hidden and only presented it to his niece shortly before the deadline.

In her opinion, the dashing head waiter Franz is the right person for her. But Franz is only interested in other women. When the beautiful hotel management student Monika Jensen arrives, he believes that he has found the love of his life in her.

Cordula tries everything to win Franz over, but initially remains unsuccessful.

When Franz brings his twin brother Benedikt to the hotel so that he can serve a prison sentence for him that Franz received for driving too fast, the mess gets even bigger before everything ends up as Cordula had hoped.

Background notes

After the success of the operetta adaptations Im Weißen Rößl (1960) and Franz Antels Im schwarzen Rößl (1961), Constantin Film requested another Rößl film. With the support of Karl Spiehs , the authorized representative of Wiener Stadthalle film production, Antel shot a new film at Mondsee and Wolfgangsee based on Johann Nestroy's play The Dyer and His Twin Brother (1840).

About the peculiar distribution title, Antel judged that the Königssee was supposed to have attracted German patriots magnetically to the cinema, and "the singing Rößl must have arisen from a dull association between Lipizzaners and the choir boys."

reception

Publication, success

The film was released in Germany on October 11, 1963. The film was released on February 14, 2014 in the series "Jewels of Film History" on DVD, published by Alive.

The film was indeed a success and was "a kind of blueprint for the Wörthersee slapstick films by Karl Spiehs."

criticism

TV Spielfilm could not gain much from the film and wrote:

“Here the tired jokes and the well-known twists and turns come together. It doesn't hurt anyone, but it's not really fun either. Tralala and Hopsassa based on the tried and tested Heimatfilm model. Conclusion: musty, low-joke Heimatfilm posse. "

The lexicon of international film was also of a similar opinion:

"A fluctuation in confusion, enriched by hits, whose" humor "is at the limit of what is reasonable."

The encyclopedia of films on television hit the same note :

“The story of this cheap Schwank is set in a hotel in the Salzkammergut. (Rating: 1½ out of 4 possible stars - moderate) "

- Adolf Heinzlmeier and Berndt Schulz : Lexicon "Films on TV"

Also Kino.de spoke of "silly Verwechlungsklamauk for the target group", a "mixture of Heimaftfilmklischees" and "hits".
