Inclination marriage is a German feature film from 1943 by Carl Froelich based on the novel Die Familie Buchholz (1884) by Julius Stinde . The elaborate family chronicle with Henny Porten in the lead role is the sequel, filmed at the same time, by the Buchholz family by the same director.
action
Three years after the end of the Buchholz family .
The couple Franz and Emmi Wrenzchen have meanwhile become the parents of the twins Roland and Rolf. When both boys almost fall out of the window due to Wilhelmine's carelessness, there is once again a solid argument between old Buchholz and her son-in-law. Betti, Wilhelmine's older daughter, has started her voice training in order to start a career as a singer. By a stupid coincidence, Wilhelmine discovered that the love affair between Betti and the painter Holle, who had gone to Italy, was by no means over. When both kiss deeply in coram publico, a minor scandal ensues.
Then the resolute Wilhelmine Buchholz snatches her two daughters and grandchildren and travels with them to Heligoland , in the hope that this 'scandal' will be forgotten by the time they return to Berlin. But her nemesis Kathinka Bergfeldt insists on rubbing the rumor under her nose in a letter from her friend-enemy that Franz Wrenzchen is allegedly having an affair with another woman. Wilhelmine is wild as a fox. She travels back to Berlin on foot and confronts her allegedly unfaithful son-in-law like a fury. But he can credibly assure her that it is just a bad rumor.
In the meantime, Friedrich Wilhelm Holle has traveled to Helgoland after his Betti, where they both secretly get married - a marriage of inclination. On the tiny island, there is no need for much preparation; for example, there is no need to order a list. Back at home in Berlin, the newly wed Betti lacks the courage to confess her marriage to her parents. The unsuspecting Wilhelmine, pragmatic and hands-on as ever, finally wants to get her eldest under the hood and then places a marriage advertisement for Betti. Wilhelmine Buchholz had her hands full with the review of the marriage candidates. When she learns that Betti and her Friedrich Wilhelm are already married, she is initially appalled. But then she also recognized the advantages of this connection: Painter Holle was ready to contribute the illustrations for Wilhelmine's book.

criticism
In Carl Froelich's biography, the Buchholz family and inclination marriage, Kay Wenigers, the film's great personal encyclopedia called a "moral image from the 'good old days'" "
The lexicon of the international film judged: "Partly cheerful, partly contemplative and a little old Franconian."
In Bogusław Drewniak's The German Film 1938–1945 it says: “The actors for this picture of old Berlin were chosen with skill. The family-addicted and Philistine, typical Berlin bourgeois woman with heart and soul played the once famous Henny Porten. She was supported by a number of well-known actors. ”Incidentally, the imperial capital, which was severely tested by the bombing at the premiere, is remembered:“ The tortured residents of the metropolis on the Spree received these films, so to speak, as a prize or a reward. ”
