action

Princess Rosemarie von Lichtenberg hopes to take a short excursion to her homeland in Tyrol while her husband is traveling . It takes place in Haller Quartier, where a traditional festival will take place over the days. At these celebrations, however, she learns that her husband often has fun with women during his travels and wants to come to Haller for this purpose. So she decides to surprise him in his hunting lodge . Since the prince is traveling on to Innsbruck at short notice , Count Herbert von Waldendorf appears there as a dedicated replacement from his uncle, Baron Weps, who quickly falls in love with the princess whom he does not know.

In the meantime the prince has arrived in Innsbruck, where he meets the dancer Lisa, who is hiding in his car when he leaves. When the prince arrives home, his wife has also gone home. There, court servant Wiesl discovers Lisa asleep in the car, believing that she is an illegitimate daughter of the prince, as his adjutant Leberle assured him in order not to cause the prince an unpleasant scandal. After Lisa woke up, Wiesl tells him about her alleged relationship to the prince, whereupon she believes him because her biological father is unknown. Then she falls into the prince's arms in public during a birthday party of the princess, which is why the princess leaves her husband and moves with von Waldendorf to the country.

criticism

"A musical comedy staged with a light hand."

background

Rosen in Tirol is an adaptation of the operetta The Bird Dealer ( Carl Zeller ), but the plot has been fundamentally changed. Except for the song Rosen in Tirol , which is sung by Johannes Heesters in the film, only a few names from the operetta have been preserved in the film. The main male character was cast by the popular Dutchman Johannes Heesters, for whom the role of Count von Waldendorf was invented. The title role of the bird dealer, which Hans Holt took over, still appeared as a supporting role for advertising purposes. The shooting took place from June 17, 1940 to September 1940 in Prague and Zell am See , the world premiere took place on December 5, 1940 in Berlin's Gloria-Palast .

The film song "Hoch drob'n auf dem Berg" (sung by Hans Holt etc.), composed by Franz Grothe, took on the character of a folk song in the years that followed.
