"Drei schräge Vögel" is a black-and-white movie from over 50 years ago. The director and writer is Kurt Früh, one of Switzerland's most famous. He was pretty much in the middle of his career, in his mid-40s, when this was made. The film was written by Max Haufler, usually an actor and this is his last project as a screenplay creator.
Even if this is so old already, I felt that it also could have been from the 1940s judging from the way it looked. The film starts with a random introductory part about money and its importance and it already shows that the rest of the 90 minutes is almost exclusively comedic as well. This film is also a good example of how Swiss German accent can be so heavy that you don't really understand everything and subtitles would have been a great help, even if you are a German native speaker. The cast includes really quite a few names you may have heard if you are from Germany: Horst Janson, Trude Herr, Theo Lingen and Grit Boettcher. Still I was never really amazed by the story, the acting, the music performances or also the cheeky wisdom told in this film. Not recommended.
