action

It is high season in the hotel "Zum Weisse Rößl". The staff is overwhelmed, but head waiter Leopold manages to calm the dissatisfied guests with singing.

He has less success with his charm with his boss Josepha Vogelhuber, with whom he makes advances. However, she rejects him: She is in love with the Berlin lawyer Dr. Otto Siedler, a long-time regular, who is expected in the afternoon and then greeted warmly by her.

The arrival of Dr. Another guest is also reluctant to see Siedler: the manufacturer Wilhelm Giesecke, who only goes on vacation at the urging of his daughter Brigitte, has lost a lawsuit against Siedler and his clients, his ore competitor Sülzheimer. However, this does not prevent Brigitte from giving in to the advances of the settlers.

As a result of a dispute between Leopold and Josepha, Leopold is fired. In the meantime, the son of the factory owner Sülzheimer named Sigismund, an outspoken womanizer, has also arrived at the hotel. On arrival he fell in love with the lisping Klärchen.

The resigned Leopold feels compelled to take extraordinary measures to open the eyes of his revered Josepha. He moves into the hotel as a guest and is happy about the resulting chaos. The consequences are intrigues and turbulent entanglements that ultimately bring Leopold to his goal of winning Josepha's love.

additional

The outdoor shots took place in the original location in Sankt Wolfgang in the summer of 1960 , the indoor shots were made in the autumn in the Kaiservilla in Bad Ischl , and some scenes were shot in the Berglandfilm studios in Vienna. Since no helicopter was available for filming in Austria, a German helicopter had to be dismantled and brought to Austria on a truck due to customs regulations and reassembled there. The film was filmed on color film from Eastmancolor, the material was developed in Vienna-Film's Grinzing copier, and Technicolor made copies in London. It premiered on December 21, 1960 in Munich at the Mathäser .

Reviews

"Overloaded, rich in clumsy situational comedy, poor in natural cheerfulness"

"The story was set for the present and trimmed for 'musical'."
