well known story...

This is quite a well-known concept: A father has two daughters, one charming, one rough. But he won't allow the charming daughter to marry unless the rough one marries, too. So they clean up and educate the rough daughter to be just as charming as the other one...

Fairly enjoyable family movie. Not great (Wirtshaus and Spukschloss im Spessart movies are much funnier), but a nice Sunday morning entertainment.

Hilarious, with great comical acting

Admittedly, most typical German-language comedies or romances from the 50s or early 60s are rather unrealistic, kitschy and just plain dumb. This one is different though. Yes, it is just a straightforward comedy that won't give you insights into the depths of human behavior or the course of the world, but it does have a smart plot idea, fantastic comical acting from the great Liselotte Pulver, Helmut Schmid (her real-life husband I believe), Dietmar Schönherr and Peter Vogel (deliciously slimy), and also several quite witty puns and linguistic jokes. Even the 3 or 4 songs - which usually are just horrible in German-language films from this period - have a certain self-irony that makes them bearable. As I am writing this the film has received an average rating of only 5.1 (29 votes). I think it is vastly underrated, so I'm giving it a 10 ...
