UNTIDY IMMENHOF PART 2
J. Steed31 October 1999
This is part 2 of the so-called "Immenhof series". Although in principal it did not matter much who sat in the director's chair, this part with its already weaker story (than that of part 1) is not helped much by Volker von Collande's uninterested direction. It is a good thing that Fritz Arno Wagner was behind the camera, although he could not prevent that when finally something resembling a plot is starting (with the arrival of Hans Nielsen as the financial saver), the story telling becomes untidy.

The main attraction remain the regulars of the cast: the both attractive Heidi Brühl and Angelika Meissner with their catching acting and both routinists Margarete Haagen and Paul Henckels.

The saga continues and stays mediocre

Warning: Spoilers
"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.
