The Swap

1952 · 95 min

A breezy rural farce that coasts on drunken bad decisions and small-town gossip, more silly than sharp.

Overview
Lorenz has his eye on Simon Gigl's prize-winning breeding bull and would love to have it. But is he willing to make a deal to give up his wife Uschi to Gigl for a week in exchange for the bull?
