Swopping shoemaker, rigorous clothes, funny captain !, 25 July 2000
10/10
Author: (amikus2000) from Marburg

This true historic story tells a lot of the Kaiser's era as imperator of germany up to 1918. Rühmann prooves being an excellent comedy-actor. By charm spectators are seduced into the first decade of the 20th century, where life had there no witticism, and keep on Rühmann's side in the movie.
