One of the best screwball comedies of the second half of the Third Reich. Very fast-paced comedy, exceedingly well written by Ernst Marischka. Marian is cast in an unusual role as a man who indulges in playing with toy ducks and other gadgets rather than having illicit affairs, even though he of course still has his usual wit and certainly made enough of an impression on Margot Hielscher. The two of them make for a wonderfully funny pair in this film with great chemistry between them. Marian and Hielscher would team up again the following year in Tourjansky’s “Dreimal Komödie”. Excellent cast featuring Oskar Sima, Jane Tilden and other well-known names.
