Schrammeln is a German feature film directed by Géza von Bolváry in 1944 . The film has little to do with the real “Schrammeln”, a Viennese folk music quartet of the 19th century.

action

Johann Schrammel , who forms a string quartet with his brother Josef Schrammel as well as Georg Dänzer and Anton Strohmayer , considers his easy compositions to be inferior and refuses to perform them. Joseph then steals the sheet music from the desk drawer, writes texts for them and travels through Vienna as a street musician with Strohmayer . The common people is enthusiastic, and the songs become popular songs without John's knowledge. This is how the famous music publisher Haslinger heard about it and invited Johann to audition. To Johann's astonishment, Haslinger doesn't want to know anything about the serious pieces, only about the cheerful ones that just happen to be being played by Josef and Strohmayer in the courtyard. Johann gets angry and all four quarrel. The also present Fiakermilli, with a sense for what people want, lures the four to one of their performances and forces them to play together for the first time as "Die Schrammeln". The audience is enthusiastic, the Schrammeln are becoming famous, the financial hardships will soon be over.

Josef, who is engaged to Strohmayer's daughter, falls in love with Milli, who returns his love. Johann, to whom Milli gave a “Busserl” after visiting a wine tavern , also raves about her. Thereupon another violent argument breaks out between the brothers, and the Schrammeln split up. Johann and Strohmayer as well as Joseph and Dänzer try their luck separately, but the audience is not interested in half-scratches. Milli, who found out about this when she returned from a guest performance in Budapest , was informed by Strohmayer. She did not know that Josef was engaged and proves that she is not a frivolous actress, but a woman with principles: I never took a woman's husband or a girl's bridegroom away. And I won't do it now, even if it means my own misfortune. She announces her engagement to the wealthy brewer Stelzer. Josef is reconciled with his brother and his fiancée, and the Schrammeln are together again.

The film begins as a typical Hans-Moser comedy and then turns it into a love tragedy when Josef Schrammel intoxicates the song “You are only in love”, which finally permeates the entire film in many ways.

backgrounds

The film story, based on an idea by Hans Gustl Kernmayr and transformed into a script by Ernst Marischka , connects the Schrammeln with another 19th century Viennese original, the Fiaker-Milli (played by Marte Harell ).

The first performance was on March 3, 1944. A well-known Schrammel song that was sung in the film and ended with the words "... Hat kan concept of what Austria is" was ordered by the Reichsfilmkammer with "... Hat kan concept of how nice it is there ” synchronized . During screenings in the Scala cinema in Vienna, however, the audience spontaneously overruled the change. The original version was retained and was shown again after the end of the war.

Awards

The film testing agency awarded Schrammeln the ratings "artistically valuable" and "popularly valuable".
