$9.99

Auf einem Faschingsball in der Münchner Oper verdreht die junge Tänzerin Maxi gleich mehreren Männern den Kopf. Einer ihrer Verehrer ist der Großindustrielle Heisterkamp. Angetan von ihrem Talent, verschafft er ihr ein Stipendium und eine elegante Wohnung. Auf dem Bal Paré, den sie alleine besucht, lernt sie den Studenten Hansjürgen kennen. Wie sich später herausstellt, ist er der Sohn ihres väterlichen Mäzens. Nach einer heftigen Auseinandersetzung zwischen Vater und Sohn erkennt dieser zum Schluss doch die lauteren Absichten des alten Herrn, der nichts gegen eine Verlobung der jungen Leute einzuwenden hat.

The dancer Maxi is turning quite a number of men's heads at the Faschinball at the Munich Opera House. One of her admirers is the industrial magnate, Heisterkamp. Impressed with her talent, he arranges a stipendium for her and an elegant apartment. At the Bal Pare, which she visits alone, she gets to know the student, Hansjurgen. As it turns out, he's the son of her fatherly patron. After a bitter fight between the young man and the father going through his beyond-middle-age-crisis, Hansjurgen finally recognizes the intentions of his father, who has nothing against the engagement of the young couple. 

 
THERE IS A NEWSREEL PREVIEW BEFORE THE FILM, JUST AS GERMAN AUDIENCES MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHEN THE MOVIE WAS FIRST SHOWN (except this newsreel may not be contemporary to when the film was released).
 
DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES (except for the Newsreel). APPROX. 115 MINS. COMBINED TOTAL.   VERY GOOD FILM QUALITY OVERALL.

purchased and watched over he new yrs holiday (2017)...this is one mish-mash of a 'comedy' directed by karl ritter ).. so the blame lies with him.... as mr. goebbels summed it up after watching the finished product,  "karl should stick to propaganda films!!"  after comparing this boring comedie vs stukas....I sort of have to  agree.. kind of  !!!! note: the costumes in this film are way above average.....so if you're into costumes then you will be in for a treat.....even the maids are dressed to kill .......
