action
Little employee Paul Norman wins a home in a competition. When his boss and his daughter Luise want to visit him there, Norman's friends are visiting. He receives his boss, but the circumstances of the visit are uncomfortable for him, because he has fallen in love with his boss' daughter, the beautiful Luise, and would rather spend time with her than with his boss and his friends.
Production notes
Who dares - wins was released in German cinemas on July 9, 1935 . After the Second World War, the film was briefly shown again in Austria under the title Bewitching Fräulein , and is now considered lost (www.lost-films.eu).
Others
The film was only released in the cinemas after a delay, as the Nazi regime thought long and carefully about even releasing the film. The background was the fact that the film was made by some people who were critically observing the ruling regime. For example, the film producer of Jewish descent Willi Wolff (incidentally, this was his last German film), the composer Ralph Benatzky (whose rejection of the Nazi regime was well known) and Annemarie Sörensen, who was suspected by the regime of unexplained Russian descent.
