Spaßvögel

1939 · 79 min

A breezy village comedy of mischief and small-town gossip, played broad and cheerful, with gentle laughs rather than bite.

Overview
Mayor Eberhorn is known as a womanizer to everyone in the village. Katchen, his wife, is constantly trying to convert him to a proper way of life … but in vain. When one morning, Casanova finds a stroller with a clever slogan referencing his affairs at his front door, Eberborn seeks revenge. Top suspects for the prank? The “Spassvogel”: seven friends led by the former sailor Hannes Strobel.
