content

After a year abroad, Ditmar Graf von Gyldenstjerne returns to Copenhagen to resume old love relationships and finally to marry the girl who unfortunately only has the very profane profession of a dancer. Susanne's big concern is her little daughter, who is looked after by the prompter Lillelys, who is constantly learning through textbooks, during the performances.

Ditmar invites his girlfriend to come to Gyldenstjerne Castle. By chance, Andreas is also brought along and immediately welcomed more or less warmly as the new butler. The old countess is a conservative fossil from the Middle Ages, the young baroness a snob - as it turns out - with a heart. But Andreas quickly sees through the situation, and in the end there is a human tone on the previously stiff and aristocratic property. Andreas is allowed to embrace the baroness because, thanks to his textbooks, he has mastered everything perfectly - even love. Of course he also managed to make the little dancer happy.

criticism

The lexicon of the international film drew the following conclusion: “Comedy based on the dream factory model, with a strong portion of sentimentality and lots of puns.” The Protestant film observer, on the other hand, has a much better opinion of the film: “Conceit and preserved stupidity are targeted here and ridiculous disclosed. Old gags are not dispensed with, but they are brought fresh and skillfully. The dialogues are sparkling, the actors, right down to the last supporting role, are well chosen, and it is pleasant that people and not glamor girls have taken on the female lead. [...] A small, but entertaining, smiley fun that is well worth seeing. "
