Some big names, but not a great film

"Ohne Krimi geht die Mimi nie ins Bett" is an Austrian German-language film from 1962 and color was not a given at all during that era, but this film here has it. It runs for under 80 minutes, so it is fairly short. The cast includes Heinz Erhardt, Karin Dor, Harald Juhnke and Trude Herr, which is really as good as it gets for a film from slightly over 50 years ago. But director Antel as well as writers Kai and Wiener did not manage to deliver here in terms of using this cast potential for a quality film. It was a disappointment overall. Yes the title song is pretty catchy, but also only the chorus. Other than that, this film is an example of how German(-language) films, especially in terms of writing, from the 1960s were far from convincing in most cases. This one here was definitely a missed opportunity. I do not recommend the watch and I agree with what the two other reviewers (before me) wrote. Watch something else instead.
