Kleine Mutti (Hungarian Kismama ) is the title of a film produced by Universal Film GmbH Vienna under Joe Pasternak from 1934-1935 and premiered on April 20, 1935 in Vienna .

The turbulent comedy of confusion, an Austro - Hungarian co-production directed by Hermann Kosterlitz (later Henry Koster) with the script by Felix Joachimson (later Felix Jackson), was internationally successful, but is little known in the German-speaking world. This is a late effect of the " Aryan paragraph " of the German film industry, which also affected Franziska Gaal , the star of the film. In addition to Gaal, Otto Wallburg and a number of well-known Austrian actors of the time, such as Anni Rosar , Rudolf Carl and Richard Eybner, should be mentioned as contributors . The film served as a template for the American film Die Findelmutter (Bachelor Mother) with Ginger Rogers and David Niven, produced in 1939, and its remake from 1956 with Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher under the title Na, na, Fräulein Mutti! (Bundle of Joy) .

action

A young girl, a student at a boarding school, finds a newborn child on the steps of an orphanage. She takes care of the baby, but is immediately suspected of being the child's mother. She is therefore expelled from school immediately. As a result, there is a succession of turbulent mix-ups, the in principle serious topic of illegitimate motherhood is treated in the style of screwball comedy : The girl stays in a luxury hotel with the intention of beating the bill later. In the meantime, she wants to find a home for the baby, but the hotel doctor expels her prematurely from this refuge. Next, the heroine takes on a job as a vacuum cleaner saleswoman and is suspected of being the mistress of his son in the house of a banker. There are many other mix-ups until everything turns out fine in the end.
