action

In Munich, student Günter tricked himself into eating a meal in a hotel management school and met the lovely Liesel. Günter learns that Liesel is the daughter of the inn owner Kohlhiesel in the remote village of Hinterflüh in the Bernese Oberland . Meanwhile, Liesel returns to her hometown, where her friend Toni is already waiting for her with flowers at the train station. Toni would like to marry Liesel as soon as possible. However, Liesel's mother decreed on her deathbed that she could not marry until her twin sister Susi was under the hood.

Since Susi has so far driven away every man with her deterrent nature, father Kohlhiesel publishes a wedding announcement, but without informing his daughter about it. This in turn places an advertisement without his knowledge, with which she is looking for a servant. Several applicants present themselves because of the marriage advertisement, but initially come to Susi, who thinks she is job seekers and chooses the townspeople Rolf, who accepts the position in the hope of being able to win Susi and her dowry for himself. Günter has meanwhile also arrived at the inn and takes a job as a waiter. Meanwhile, Susi notices that Rolf is only interested in her father's dowry and therefore takes him particularly hard. Meanwhile Günter fell in love with Liesel and when he found out that Toni and Liesel had been promised each other, he came up with a plan. After that Toni is supposed to marry Susi and Günter looks after Liesel until Susi and Toni are divorced again. Toni reluctantly agrees.

After the wedding, Susi has to spend the night alone in the marriage bed while Toni gets drunk. The next morning he smashes the furniture. Desperate Susi turns to her sister, who explains to her that she has to change. So Susi turns into a lovely woman, with whom Toni immediately falls in love. Toni turns to Günter and asks him to marry Liesel. In the final scene, the two sisters appear in front of the men in the same dress, so that Günter and Toni no longer know who Liesel and who Susi is.

background

Axel von Ambesser moved his version of Hanns Krälys Bauernschwank from Bavaria to Switzerland. The unsympathetic Liesel from the original piece is now called Susi. The sympathetic sister who is called Gretel in the original piece is called Liesel in this version. Furthermore, von Ambesser gave his stars Liselotte Pulver and Helmut Schmid the opportunity to sing. Liselotte Pulver heard the song “Every potty find its lid” and Helmut Schmid's song “Die Susi”. The outdoor shots took place in the Bernese Oberland . You can see u. a. the train station of Faulensee . Most of the interior shots were taken in the CCC Studios in Berlin-Spandau

Awards

In 1964 Kohlhiesel's daughters won the golden canvas .

criticism

"The classic swank of the dissimilar sisters who nosy their lovers and dowry hunters with cunning and simplicity, in a tasteless remake that doesn't gain any real humor even with Liselotte Pulver in the double role."
