action

The young successful singer Edi Zaremba, school of all flappers, is used to leading a luxury life. But now he is supposed to do his military service in the Austrian garrison town of Krems with the kuk dragoons . This means that for a few months now he has to swap his elegant apartment for the crew room in a barracks. He lets himself be chauffeured there in a Fiaker . The residents of the Danube city have been informed of this and are giving the crowd a warm welcome. Actually, he should have been at the barracks a week earlier. However, in order to avoid a contractual penalty , he postponed his start of work without authorization.

Lieutenant of Ried Hoff committed to the new to his personal lads . Because he has never had to clean his shoes himself, he simply passes this and other work on to his secretary outside the barracks area. It doesn't take long and Edi is tired of all the drills. One night he had alcohol in large quantities and several of his Krems admirers brought to the team room. The barracks experienced a great, noisy boom. However, this comes to an abrupt end when Major Holzer angrily enters the room. He has nothing left for such “service to the fatherland”.

The unexpected arrival of Edi's friend Steffi Gruber and the visit of the garrison town by the German Major Siebenstern, until at the end of the film all ropes loose and some couples can look forward to their wedding, ensure further complications.

Production notes

Klaus Ogermann composed the music . The songs are written by him in the strip. If you can sing, everything is not that difficult! And now I only know how sweet you are sung, both texted by Walter Brandin and Gert Wings . Gerdago contributed the costumes. The buildings come from Sepp Rothauer . The film first hit cinemas in Austria on November 14, 1958, and in the Federal Republic of Germany on the 27th of the same month. The box office results fell short of expectations.

criticism

"Second-rate military swank with primitive situation comedy, greasy songs and slightly apron girls."
