Krach im Vorderhaus

1941 · 79 min

A brisk, chatty slice of old Berlin neighbourly chaos, played for gentle laughs and light mischief rather than real stakes.

Overview
It can hardly be said that things are peaceful in the Berlin apartment building where the film's story takes place. There are constant clashes between the residents – and sometimes that's quite literal: for example, when the widow Bock hid some explosives among the bricks, which detonated when the building's thieving doorman lit them in his stove.
