Much Ado About Nixi

1942 · 105 min

A frothy, fast-talking romantic romp where a playful fib snowballs into chase and courtship, charming and featherlight throughout.

Overview
Nixi has a vivid imagination and she makes extensive use of it. After parting from her longtime fiancée after an argument, she tells her father, that she’s pregnant --- and by another man: the police prefect Roland von Gabriel, whom she met after an auto accident. Called in by her father to be lectured, Roland doesn’t seem to mind the idea of marrying Nixi, but she’s already taken to her heels and fled.
