Delikatessen

1930 · 78 min

A light, chatty old-fashioned comedy of manners, pleasant and forgettable, with mild romantic sparks and gentle shop-floor rivalry.

Overview
Friends Franz and Bela work in a deli belonging to Mr. Wallis. Franz is the manager and Bela a salesclerk. Both get to know the lovely Lilo. But while Bela is rebuffed, the charming womanizer Franz is more successful. After a boisterous celebration in the deli, Mr. Wallis tells Franz to get lost and hires Lilo as a new salesperson. Franz and Bela take a job at Mr. Markow's deli across the street and a serious competition begins between the two delis for survival.
