After the operetta of the same name of Richard Heuberger in 1890-1914 all kinds of situation comic from happy-go-lucky Vienna of the turn of the century, the time of the first cars and the absurd bath costumes: Husbands in the Chambre Separee, her little dizziness and mistake plays, the tumultuous whirl of a grand ball... - A high-spirited comedy at considerable entertainment level.
Acting
Hans Moser's mustache does half the comedy.
Costume
Those bathing suits deserve their own spin-off.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Heuberger's 1898 operetta defined 'Goldenes Wien' nostalgia—this 1939 film deployed that same escapism as Europe burned.
Géza von Bolváry fled Hungary's antisemitic laws in 1938, making this Austrian comedy his refugee debut in the Third Reich's film industry.
