Father's Day is a German film by Hans Richter from 1955 .
action
The driving instructor Gustav Helbig is satisfied with himself because he got his "worst case" so far, the hairdresser Egon Kammerhahn, through the driving test. Ms. Berta Helbig, however, is dissatisfied, as she urgently wants to go to town to do important errands. This also includes a visit to Thea and Paul Brause's dog grooming salon, who are booming, as every third inhabitant of the town owns a dog. Thea takes care of the beauty care of the animals, while her husband trains them. In marriage it is exactly the opposite, because here Paul is on a leash.
But Paul, like his friends from the bowling club Gustav Helbig, Adam Kugel, Franz Novotny, Herr von Streitwitz and Egon Kammerhahn, is seriously suspected. Your wives believe that the men are on the wrong track. They meet regularly after the bowling evenings in the city theater with six attractive dancers. But the reason for this is very simple. The cone brothers want to take part in a big dance competition on Ascension Day in the neighboring town of Heideborn, the first prize of which is a free weekend stay for the family. That is why they meet with the dancers to take dance lessons. Of course, the women manage to come to Heideborn on Father's Day to uncover the mischief of the men. Here, however, they have to be ashamed to realize that they have almost half angels as partners who only wanted to win the first prize and got it.
