ridiculous rating

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is a 90-minute movie from almost 55 years ago starring one of Germany's most famous: Peter Alexander. Or I should maybe say Austria as he is Austrian-born, this is an Austrian production and the film's director Géza von Chiffra is also Austrian. He was one of the most prolific filmmakers in the German-speaking regions between the 1930s and 1960s. And they get help by Danish-born Vivi Bach, who plays the female central character and (obviously) love interest to Peter Alexander's. The writer of this movie worked a lot with Heinz Erhardt in his career.This is pretty much 100% comedy, but sadly it is rarely funny. Basically the entire movie consists of a Peter Alexander show which moves the action and plots in the background. For almost the entire movie he switches between his regular looks and female clothes as the woman of his heart should not find out that he is really with her in Paris and his relative is actually himself. Still she finds out shortly after the one-hour-mark and plays some jokes on him for the rest of the film. Other than this drag storyline, the movie has also many bad word games, for example on the German terms for cobblestone or chewing. It's impossible to translate, but you will know what I mean when you watch this and understand German. In addition, the film includes lots of music and singing by Alexander, some nice songs on Paris, but also a really stupid song which is a bit of a love confession to a woman he barely knows. And back in the 1960s, young women go out to have afternoon tea and dance instead of to parties as this film tells us as well.Finally, I cannot recommend this film really unless you really love Peter Alexander (who in drag reminded me a bit of Otto Waalkes at times). There are many German films from around the 1950s and 1960s which are very similar and there is nothing about this movie here that makes it stand out. But if you happen to enjoy it, check out the two sequels also featuring Peter Alexander as the lead character.
