Marianne Hoppe, Gustaf Gründgens and Fita Benkhoff, Gustaf Gründgens
(1)
$11.29

The famous pilot Mabel Atkinson doesn't like reporters; and the famous reporter Jack Warren doesn't like famous women, whom he has to interview day in and day out. He's looking for a nice, pretty and completely uninteresting woman. He is doing his intended last interview with the movie star Dorothy Hopkins, whom he mistakenly thinks is Mabel Atkinson and while visiting the dentist, falls for the real Mabel Atkinson, whom he thinks is a common woman, who won't threaten his insecure manhood (or lack thereof, if you get my meaning). After horsing around in the air and on the ground, they marry each other, make promises, break them, and then want to divorce. Thankfully, the judge in the divorce court sees through the nonsense and recognizes how much they truly love each other.

Die berühmte Fliegerin Mabel Atkinson mag keine Reporter, und der berühmte Reporter Jack Warren mag keine berühmten Frauen, die er tagaus, tagein interviewen muss. Er sucht nach einem netten, hübschen, völlig uninteressanten Mädchen. Er macht sein vermeintlich letztes Interview mit der Filmschauspielerin Dorothy Hopkins, die er allerdings für Mabel Atkinson hält, und verliebt sich in der Praxis eines Zahnarztes in die echte Mabel Atkinson, die er für ein ganz normales Mädchen hält. Nach allerlei Capriolen in der Luft und auf dem Erdboden, heiraten die beiden, geben sich Schwüre, brechen diese, wollen sich wieder scheiden lassen, und merken vor dem Scheidungsrichter, wie sehr sie sich in Wirklichkeit lieben.

 
DVD-R is in German with or without switchable English subtitles. Approx. 84 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!

The essential Marianne Hoppe and the equally essential Gustav Gründgens portray Americans in a fairly unlikely love & marriage feature that does seem more like an American movie than a European one.
And spunky Fita Benkhoff manages to steal every scene she's in.
