DAS KLEINE HOFKONZERT (1945)

Elfie Mayerhofer, Hans Nielsen and Erich Ponto
(1)
$10.99

Christine Holm has had enough of village life. She packs her suitcases and heads off to a small city to begin a career as a singer and to finally find her father, whom she has never seen before. Things are rather chaotic at the border post; but when Lieutenant von Arneck sees Christine at passport control, he takes all the time in the world to ensure that the woman doesn't disappear so quickly. Soon, the other travelers raise Holy Hell that the customs inspector is flirting instead of checking for smuggled, counterfeit DVDs, drugs and the like. Advisor Zunder has the biggest mouth among the complaining mob. But Zunder probably should have kept his mouth shut, because the idea of "the best defense is a good offense" only serves to push von Arneck to look even closer at Zunder's bags, where there are a bunch of smuggled DVDs and the like. And like all good criminals, who blame everyone else for their misdeeds, Zunder intends to get revenge for being caught with dirty fingers.

Christine Holm hat das Dorfleben satt. Sie packt ihren Koffer, um in der kleinen Residenzstadt Karriere als Sängerin zu machen und endlich ihren Vater zu finden, den sie noch nie gesehen hat. An der Grenzstation herrscht Hochbetrieb, doch als Leutnant von Arneck Christine zur Kontrolle vor sich sieht, nimmt er sich alle Zeit der Welt, um das die hübsche Frau nicht so schnell aus den Augen zu verlieren. Es dauert nicht lange, da macht sich unter den anderen Reisenden der Unmut über den flirtenden Zollinspektor Luft. Vor allem der Kommissionsrat Zunder hält sich nicht zurück bei seiner lautstarken Beschwerde. Doch das bringt Arneck keineswegs aus der Ruhe, zumal er bei der Inspektion von Zunders Gepäck so manches "Schmuggelgut" zutage fördert. Zunder sinnt auf Rache.

DVD-r is in German with no subtitles. Approx. 66 mins. See film sample for audio and video sample!

From: Wolfie
A somewhat odd romcom set during the Biedermeier period. Acting, dialogue and the fact that it's in Agfacolor signal a transition into a new era of film.
Perhaps most remarkable is the fact that they were able to film something this lavish - the costumes alone must have cost a small fortune and taken forever to make - in 1945.
