Paradise of the brisk sinners , also in the spelling Das Paradies der brisk Sinners is a German comedy film from 1968 . The episode film consists of four individual segments, which the directors Géza von Cziffra , August Rieger and Rolf Olsen realized.
action
Framework: Ignaz Hirnbeißer comes to the travel agency Dolce Vita from owner Alfonso Jäckele. He curses the badly running business, as people prefer to go on vacation with their own car. Mr. Hirnbeißer wants to go on vacation without his wife, but has only saved 800 marks. Mr Jäckele advises him to drive (the episode The Driving License follows ), advises him not to rent Vienna (apartment for rent) and Mexico (happening in Meciko) and tell him that the Salzkammergut is the paradise of brisk sinners ( Crowd under the four-poster bed) . Although Hirnbeißer would like to go where the “Playgirls” run around, in the end he doesn't book a vacation. He explains to Jackele, who is nervous at the end, that he is also a travel agency owner.
The license
Mr. Hisel has reason to celebrate. The father of numerous children will take the driving test for the 25th time. Ms. Hisel hopes that her husband will make it this time as the family wants to go on vacation. Mr. Hisel already shows in the theoretical test that he has no idea. Nevertheless, he is admitted to the practical test, in which he has already worn out numerous examiners in the past. The test is chaotic, among other things, Hisel turns wrongly into a one-way street and at the end rams a gas pump when the examiner, unnerved, steers him to a gas station. The gasoline runs out and Hisel causes an explosion when he lights a cigarette and carelessly throws the match away. At the end you see Hisel walking on vacation with his family.
Apartment for rent
Heinz Haller lives in a large old apartment in Vienna. He's going to a party he won't be returning from until the next day. Housekeeper Elsa is supposed to take care of the apartment. Shortly after Heinz left, Elsa's friend appears. Elsa is a thief who disguised herself as a housemaid and has slipped into numerous households. Now she wants to pile up again with her boyfriend, but there is no cash in the house. Without further ado, they pretend to be the Haller couple and rent the apartment to young Helga that same evening. She's supposed to live with her aunt Grete, but she doesn't want to. She pays Elsa the required 10,000 shillings deposit and is taking a bath when Heinz comes home. After some chaos everything clears up and both are about to eat together when Aunt Grete appears. Helga locks Heinz in the bathroom, where he finds Elsa's hidden disguise. Without further ado, he disguises himself as a woman and introduces himself to Grete as a housemaid. She is so excited that she takes the wrong Elsa with her to her property, where Helga now also lives. Heinz is courted by both the chauffeur Franz and the baron. When Grete reads in the newspaper that Elsa is wanted as a fraud, she wants to arrest Heinz. She surprises him when he has just taken off his disguise and falls into the swimming pool in shock. In the end everyone ends up in the water and Heinz and Helga kiss.
Happening in Meciko
Singing star Nick Dreamer travels to Mexico with his British butler Percy, where he is supposed to take on his first film role in the film Happening in Meciko . Director Sam Vogel from the Rinaldo film is already waiting for you at the airport and shows you to your car. However, you end up in the wrong car. A short time later, both find themselves in the hands of kidnapper José Uraga, who wants to extort $ 200,000 in ransom for Dreamer's release from Sam Vogel. However, Vogel is not ready to pay the sum; he prefers to cast the role. A little later, Nick and Percy find themselves packed in sacks on a small ship. Uraga wants to throw them overboard with his two henchmen at sea. However, his sister, who takes over the surveillance of the two prisoners for a short time, frees Nick, who sings her a song and then knocks her out. An avid reader of crime dime novels freed Percy and suggests little later Uragas henchmen down, now even end up in sacks and thrown shortly after Uraga overboard. Uraga and the helmsman end up in the water and Nick and Percy arrive at the film set half a day late. Vogel is annoyed, but wants to give Nick a second chance.
The crowd under the four-poster bed
Paul Topper from Castrop-Rauxel is on vacation in the Salzkammergut. He wants to enjoy the pure nature and bathes naked in a mountain lake. Two children steal his clothes and so he walks into the villa of a Dutch cheese manufacturer wearing only leaves, where he hopes to find things. In the bathroom he discovers a towel that he wraps himself in. Suddenly he hears voices and takes refuge under the four-poster bed in the adjoining bedroom. A little later, Laura and her lover Bobby appear, who, much to Paul's displeasure, begin their lovemaking on the sagging bed. This is interrupted when Laura's husband Lodewig unexpectedly returns from a trip. Bobby, too, is now hiding under the four-poster bed, where, to his surprise, he discovers Paul. The men get to know each other while Laura and Lodewig's long love game begins above them. Lodewig later disappears into the bathroom and Paul and Bobby hide behind the curtain and in the closet before they manage to escape. Lodewig is satisfied and goes to bed. Laura, in turn, asks the next lover to come to her - Lodewig's chauffeur, who has been waiting under the balcony the whole time. He throws himself on the four-poster bed, which promptly collapses under him.
production
The initiator of the film was music producer Hans Bertram , who asked producer Karl Spiehs whether he would like to make a film with his discovery Roy Black. But it shouldn't be a hit movie. Spiehs built him into an episode film to test him as an actor. This worked, which is how the longstanding collaboration between Spiehs and Roy Black began.
Paradise of the brisk sinners is conceived as an episode film, whereby the framework story with Willy Millowitsch and Paul Löwinger connects and introduces the individual episodes. Each episode begins with a poster in the travel agency, on which the episode title, director and cameraman are named. The film structures came from Fritz Jüptner-Jonstorff and Sepp Rothauer . Singer Roy Black's screen debut was released in German cinemas on April 19, 1968.
The following songs can be heard in the film:
- Roy Black: Stay with me ... (Text: Lilibert , Music: Werner Twardy )
- Roy Black: My love for you (Text: Lilibert, Music: Werner Twardy)
- Hans-Jürgen Bäumler: Darling, if you don't speak my language
criticism
"Episodic clamor about a learner driver, a man disguised as a housemaid, a kidnapped film star and an unfaithful wife," said the film service .
Cinema wrote: "Chats in Mr. Jäckele's travel agency [...] are the trigger for this embarrassingly frivolous platitudes salad divided into four [...] Conclusion: The joke is surrounded, done and buried."
The Evangelische Film-Beobachter also has a bad opinion of the work : "A completely irrelevant film that, despite the first-time participation of pop singer Roy Black, cannot even be recommended to fans with a clear conscience."
