Erhardt's farewell, sadly not on a high note

Warning: Spoilers
"Willi wird das Kind schon schaukeln", also known under other German title, or "Willi Manages the Whole Thing" is a West German color film from 1972 and it is the final installment from the Willi film series, one that German comedy legend Heinz Erhardt starred in during the last decade of his life and career. He had a small performance in another film briefly before his death, but his role here is his last official lead performance and the film is also still somewhat known today. The director is once again Werner Jacobs and the writers also worked on previous Willi films. But maybe they should have gotten Rolf Olsen again, the man who wrote and directed the second Willi film, as that film was my favorite from the franchise and the only one I would consider recommending. So yeah, what else is there to say about this one here. I personally do not recommend the watch of these (as usual) under 90 minutes, but then again, it is also not a wise decision to start with this film as it is really the final installment to the series. Thumbs down from me.
