Love wants to be learned is a German comedy film by Kurt Hoffmann from 1963. Erich Kästner wrote the screenplay based on his play To trustworthy hands .
action
Ilse Lehmbruck is concerned: Her son Hansgeorg shows no interest at all in women, but devotes himself wholeheartedly to his medical studies. Here, too, he doesn't want to become a gynecologist , but rather earn a living as a pediatrician . Before Hansgeorg becomes a mother's boy, mother Ilse sends him to sublet to his uncle Christoph Mylius in Munich , who earns his living as a writer. Here he should be carefully introduced into the world of adults and especially that of women.
Christoph Mylius is the darling of women because he hits their hearts with his novels. In his private life, he had a long-time secret relationship with the successful actress Hermione and had to defend himself against the cautious advances made by his secretary Dora.
It quickly becomes clear that Hansgeorg had ulterior motives when he moved in with Uncle Christoph. On the one hand, he wants to pair his mother with the neighbor and not stand in the way, and on the other hand, he likes Munich not only because of the university, but above all because of the lending library owner Margot. Both have been secretly a couple for four years and he spends every free minute with her.
Christoph introduces Hansgeorg to society: They go to dance courses, where Christoph is besieged by the ladies, and visit Hermione in the film studio, where they follow the recording of a nude bathtub scene that involuntarily ends in a funny way. Finally, in the strip bar, Hansgeorg is less enthusiastic about the woman undressing and more enthusiastic about the barmaid who has too high a pulse. He goes to the pharmacy for her to get medicine - and asks the waiting Christoph to apologize in writing because he still has work to do. Christoph in turn is surprised by Dora, who spends the night with him.
The next morning brings a common arrival at Christoph's house: While Christoph is hungover and overtired, Hansgeorg is rested, so he has to explain himself and finally admits that he has a girlfriend. At a party in the Mylius house, Hansgeorg introduces him to Margot, while Hermione and Dora try to talk and part without reconciliation. A short time later, Christoph has a new secretary.
Hansgeorg pretends to travel to the Rhine for a long time . In reality he lives in Margot's apartment in Munich. There he learns that his mother has married the neighbor Eberhard Feldhammer head over heels and decides not to keep his relationship a secret anymore. Shortly after his “official” return from the Rhine, he asked the family together. Mother Ilse, who wants to reject Margot on principle, is surprised when she recognizes Hansgeorg's childhood love in her and now knows that both have been a couple for years. Both explain to the family that they will get married this month: not because Margot is pregnant, but because they both have a two-year-old boy named Andreas. The surprise is perfect and, after a moment's hesitation, Ilse becomes a proud grandmother. A little later the wedding follows, in which the entire family takes part.
