How d'Warret works is the title of a Swiss dialect sound film by Praesens Film AG Zurich, which Walter Lesch and Richard Schweizer directed in 1933 for Lazar Wechsler's company Praesens Film AG Zurich based on their own script . The model was the old Zurich comedy Wie d'Warret works by the Swiss draftsman and poet August Corrodi (1826–1885).

In addition to prominent Swiss dialect actors such as Mathilde Danegger , Heinrich Gretler and Emil Hegetschweiler , cabaret artists such as the Swiss Max Werner Lenz and the German Felix Bressart , actually Salomon Breslauer, who was given a role in Swiss film in 1933 while traveling through, also took part.

At that time, cabaret shaped Swiss entertainment culture and also served as the basis for this film, which was designed as a dialect fluctuation.

background

The music was written by Robert Blum and Paul Schoop . Paul Schoop (1907–1976), a Swiss composer, was the brother of the painter Max Schoop , who was married to the actress Trude Berliner , and the dancers and actresses Hedi and Trudi (actually Gertrude) Schoop. The film had its world premiere for Switzerland on December 1, 1933 in Zurich in the Apollo cinema .

reception

Wie d'Warret Würkt founded the genre of Swiss films at the beginning of the 1930s, which is characterized by comedy and the use of the Swiss-German dialect, which makes it unrivaled on the one hand, but unsuitable for export on the other. Lazar Wechsler is said to have got the idea for the film from Leopold Lindtberg .

The Swiss writer Edwin Arnet , local editor of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung , criticized the narrative style not yet developed in terms of cinematic language: "The pictures lie next to each other, scene follows scene in staccato style, the interlocking is often missing ...".

A copy of the screenplay for How d'Warret works from the estate of Emil Hegetschweiler is currently being kept in the Zurich City Archives.
