Der Herr Kanzleirat

A simple plot set among the Austrian bureaucrats with a background of summer romance during a lakeside holiday. Moser is perfectly cast in the role of the senior official with a heart of gold - he even serenades the fraulein of his fancy ! A comedy of errors, of old-fashioned ways being overtaken by progress but lightened by romance and humour. Well worth a look even if only to see the fantastic bikinis !

This is one of the very early tourist films which became fashionable after world war II. Hans Moser plays an old judge, who hated women throughout his live until he finally became enslaved by the charm of a young women. That brings him in all kind of troubles culminating in a duel. Great performance by Hans Moser especially as a duellist. Without him this movie should be quickly forgotten as all these foolish tourist films.
