Lauter Lügen (Nothing but Lie) is a comedy film that marked the directorial debut of popular actor Heinz Rühmann. Based on a 1937 play by Hans Schweikart, the story follows a woman who, upon being told by a stranger that her husband is now in love with her, fights back by inventing a fake lover to make her husband jealous. The comedy is widely credited with launching Hertha Feiler to stardom.

The script is highly regarded for its sharp punchlines and comedic additions. An amusing battle of wits where a group of passive men are essentially dominated and maneuvered by two strong, ambitious women fighting over the same partner.
