Confusion comedy with musical interludes around a carnival ball, to dare the pretty shop assistant for a fashion store with one of the best gowns of her salon and posing in her embarrassment as the wife of a guest. - Harmlessly entertaining comedy, a little bit too poorly to bring to bear the first-time meeting of three most popular Austrian comic specialists Moser-Slezak-Romanowsky at that time appropriately.

Costume
That gown! The entire plot revolves around a dress and it earns it.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the only film pairing all three Austrian comedy giants—imagine Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd together but Austrian and slightly tipsier.
Marischka's direction was criticized for wasting the trio; modern viewers might agree the ballroom scenes feel cramped rather than celebratory.
