Kissing is not a sin ' is an Austro-German music and homeland film in black and white from 1950. Directed by Hubert Marischka , who - together with Rudolf Österreicher - also wrote the script. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the film was released for the first time on September 28, 1950. The title alludes to the best-known melody of the operetta " Bruder Straubinger " by Edmund Eysler (music) and Ignaz Schnitzer , which can be heard several times in the film. The film was later given the title “Brother Straubinger”, which is a bit misleading because it has little in common with the operetta.

action

When the chamber singer Felix Alberti gave a guest performance in Salzburg , he was so fascinated by an exotic beauty in the box on the left that he had his manager Schwaighofer bring her the invitation to a rendezvous . He received neither a “yes” nor a “no” answer, and this fact did not allow him to calm down when he returned to Vienna. To his surprise, however, the woman he admits still answers and on the phone promises her immediate visit. How big is the disappointment when the lady finally enters Felix's room. It's Tilly Eder, the daughter of the Salzburg innkeeper "Zur Goldenen Gans". The tenor's love letter accidentally reached her because the person who delivered it, Schwaighofer, confused the terms “left” and “right”.

It doesn't take long for Tilly to delight both the tenor and his impresario with her fresh, natural voice . Alberti even wants to pay for Tilly's vocal training. He also got her a radio appearance. Your "Mutterl-Lied" was a great success straight away.

However, Tilly's happiness is soon severely clouded when Alberti discovers his girlfriend Mara at a garden party of his impresario, in whom he recognizes his exotic beauty from Salzburg and showered her with compliments. Tilly leaves the party disappointed and returns to her parents in the "Goldene Gans".

Thanks to her radio success, Tilly was given the female lead in Edmund Eysler's operetta “Brother Straubinger” and was enthusiastically celebrated by the audience. Felix Alberti, the singer in the title role, won her heart not only on stage, but also privately.

music

The numerous other songs that can be heard in addition to the theme song in the film are also written by Edmund Eysler. However, they cannot be heard in the original, but in a musical arrangement by Alois Melichar . The best known are (heavily abbreviated):

Mother song

Mother, dear mother,
what do you think of me?
Trust your girl,
don't get wrong about her.
What you have learned me, it
is written in the heart
and has remained
my guiding star for life !

Drummers

Remember it! Remember it!
Remember, battalion!
Turn right! Right around!
And run away!
If it goes wrong battalion,
turn right, run away!
Don't ask why Why?
Bumvidibum! Boom! Boom!

The refrain of the theme song is

Kissing is not a sin '
With a beautiful child.
Laughs at you a rose mouth,
kiss him every hour! Boldly pick
the roses that
bloom for you along the way.
Take what you want,
because someone else will take it!

The Munich Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony will play . The dances in the film were choreographed by Willy Schultze-Vogelheim .

criticism

"Musical comedy of the Austrian middle class, with irrelevant plot, the most beautiful melodies by Edmund Eysler and - for once - friendly Hans Moser."
