action
The young Vera studies in Heidelberg and gets her entire studies sponsored by the rich heir aunt in America. Out of gratitude, she always sends the old lady the most interesting news from the Neckar city, with which the aunt associates her most beautiful childhood memories. Of course, Heidelberg has changed in the last 30 or 40 years, but your aunt shouldn't know that so that she won't be disappointed. Even the fraternity members have become more modern and are even making - what a monstrous revolution! - jazz music. When the old lady signs up for a visit, good advice is of course expensive.
Vera absolutely wants to pretend old Heidelberg from yesteryear to her, and to do this she needs the help of her fellow students, who have to work hard to bring the spirit of Alt-Heideberg to new life. The friends have to play old drinking songs, a trip to the Neckar is organized and even a student duel is staged. But aunty is not stupid. She quickly sees through the amiable game and even takes a liking to modern Heidelberg and today's student body! At a garden party in honor of the young people, the aunt surprises everyone by announcing the establishment of a student foundation.
Production notes
Jazz and Jux in Heidelberg , also called Verliebt in Heidelberg , is one of the most unknown German productions since 1945 and was never shown on television. The film was made on location in Heidelberg in February 1964 and premiered on May 5, 1964.
Almost a year after the untimely death of his wife Dinah Grace, screen legend Willy Fritsch was persuaded by the director Hamel, whom he met in 1947 as a young actor while filming Untitled , to take on a guest role in this production after almost three years of abstinence. It was Fritsch's penultimate film work.
Hamel apparently had an affinity for Heidelberg: Five years before, in 1959, he had with Hannes Tannert the famous student romance Old Heidelberg by Wilhelm Meyer-Förster adapted for television.
criticism
For the lexicon of international film , the film was just a "maudlin musical", in "Films 1962–1964" it is called in short: "Cheap cliché."
