Franciska Gaal is hilariously funny and over-the-top as the kitchen maid Katharina, who is so poor, she has to wear chunks of wood for shoes (yes, poverty is hilarious), and who is taken out on dates by a rich and handsome man-about-town dressed up as his own chauffeur, in order to get into the house Kathariana works in, and where his fiancée lives, guarded by her overprotective father.  Naturally Hans slowly grows to love Katharina in spite of himself and soon, she is no longer just a means to an end.  Gaal exudes charm in bucketloads, even with her high voice and pigtails that seem to be held out by wires.  She sings beautifully too.  There are many touching moments in this film and much more subtlety than the plot may suggest.  Speaking of singing, the Comedian Harmonists are featured in a nightclub scene, a good bit of priceless footage of this inimitable group. Both they, and Gaal, had their careers ruined by the Nazis, and this is yet another record of a lost world.

Der reiche Herr von Gerstikow (Hans Holt) muss mit seinem Chaffeur die Rolle und die Kleider tauschen, um in der Nähe seiner Angebeteten sein zu können, die er unbedingt heiraten möchte, deren Vater ihr aber jeden Umgang mit ihm verbietet. So macht er sich ans unterste Dienstmädchen des Hauses heran, um durch Katharina (Franziska Gaal) die strikte Order des strengen Papa zu umgehen. Diese, naiv und gutgläubig, interpretiert allerdings sein Interesse als tatsächliche Liebe, was zu jeder Menge Verwicklungen führt. 

DVD-R is in German with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 89 mins. See film samples to compare audio and video quality!
