Mariandls Heimkehr is an Austrian Heimatfilm by Werner Jacobs from 1962. It is the direct continuation of the film Mariandl from the previous year. In addition to Cornelia Froboess and Rudolf Prack , Waltraut Haas , Gunther Philipp and Peter Weck and Hans Moser play the main roles in this story from the Wachau .

The film was announced at the time with the words: “Lovable and atmospheric like the first Mariandl film. Heart and humor play the main roles in this magical love story and the wonderful landscape of the Wachau provides an effective setting. "

action

Mariandl returns from Dürnstein to Vienna , where she studies piano at the Vienna Music Academy . A year later she is visited by Grandpa Windischgruber, who has made an inheritance: a cousin bequeathed him her estate in the Wachau , which, in Windischgruber's imagination, has already blossomed into a castle. When visiting the estate, he and Mariandl actually end up in a castle that is only for sale. The real estate turns out to be a rundown farmhouse with chickens and horses. The latter, however, do not even belong to the estate, but were only "temporarily stored" by the seedy Deininger. He buys the horses from bankrupt circus companies and then has them processed into salami in Italy . As long as he does not have enough horses for a slaughter transport, he parks them on the pasture now owned by Windischgruber.

Mariandl and grandpa are horrified that the beautiful horses are about to be slaughtered and Mariandl decides to save all the animals. For this, however, she needs 45,000 schillings - Deininger gives her 14 days to get the money.

With her fellow students from the Music Academy, Mariandl plans to secretly perform as a band in the Mirama Bar and earn money with the hits. However, this does not go well for long as a professor from the academy soon finds out about them. Windischgruber sells his inn in Dürnstein and Mariandl's fiancé Peter trades in his car, also to reconcile Mariandl. She caught him in supposedly tricky situations with other women and thinks that he is cheating. In reality, one of the ladies wanted to buy his car while another is the daughter of a music teacher with whom Peter is secretly learning to play the flute. Mariandl had always wanted a musical fiancé for the common house music . There is also tension between Mariandl's mother Marianne and her father Franz, who has just been found again, as the long-time bachelor Franz wants to keep his housekeeper Franzi, while she keeps pounding on the formerly little waitress Marianne, who has now risen to the position of court counselor. When Marianne received no clear approval from Franz to dismiss Franz, she moved out and went to Windischgruber in the Wachau.

The money worries persist, as all sales so far have only resulted in a down payment for the horses. Franz and Mariandl are now independently planning a benefit concert to save the horses. Both randomly choose the same date for the concert. So it happens that one evening Mariandl first sings hits in front of her fellow students in an event hall and then has to rush to the music academy to play the classical piano there. Everything is going well and the money for the horses comes together. Deininger, who secretly wants to load all the horses on the evening of the concerts and bring them to Italy, is thwarted by the fact that the faithful servant Toni stabs his truck tires. The horses are saved and Mariandl and Peter as well as Marianne and Franz get together again.

Production, publication

Various hits are included in the film:

The Mozart Boys' Choir under the direction of Erich Schwarzbauer will sing and The Glenos will dance , namely Charly Gleno, son Willi Gleno and his wife Inge.

Waltraud Haas was filming wedding night in Paradise in Venice at the same time and fell ill there with severe flu. The last outdoor shots of Mariandl's return home that were still missing were filmed in the shade after her return on Scheiblingstein so as not to unnecessarily endanger the main actress's health.

The world premiere of Mariandl's Homecoming took place on October 11, 1962 in Munich . In Denmark, the film was released on December 26, 1962 under the title Conny i topform .

The film was released on June 8, 2004 together with the first part of Mariandl on DVD. In 2008, both parts of the series Ein Wiedersehen mit… Conny Froboess were released again on DVD.

criticism

The lexicon of the international film said that the plot of Mariandl's homecoming consists largely of “insignificant effusions of love and suffering”: “Direction and performance make ample use of the Viennese emotional scale and let 82-year-old Moser play him on the wall, who is even the most ridiculous Screenwriting knows how to win a little bit of that mixture of sentiment and amiable-bizarre humor that made him so popular in his heyday. "For the online edition, Mariandls Heimkehr was " a home film with many embarrassments, in which only Hans Moser is able to convince. "

Cinema spoke of a homeland bugger that only Hans Moser could get through with “dignity”.
