"Hochzeit auf Immenhof" is a West German color film from 1956, so this one has its 60th anniversary this year and it is the second film from the Immenhof series. It came out a year after the first and features some of the major players from the original movie who reprise their roles here. The director is somebody else (Volker von Collande), but it is based once again on the Ursula Bruns literature. The film runs slightly longer than the first, a but over 90 minutes. Unfortunately, this is not a positive factor as the story and characters stay very forgettable and generic just like they were in the first film already. Character development is barely non-existent and the movie never manages to be either interesting or really realistic. I must say I am surprised that people still appreciate these films more than half a century later. I find them the epitome of the extremely forgettable 1950s in terms of German filmmaking and I give this movie a thumbs-down as well. For me, one film was (more than) enough already. Watch something else instead.
