Story about a couple getting married, covering the night before the wedding and the wedding day which turns out to be a little different from what everybody expected thanks to constant interference by the bride's mother.
Albert (Horst Kummeth), a sailor from northern Germany, arrives in Bavaria to marry his fiancée Rosemarie (Christine Neubauer), the daughter of resolute and nosy Emmi Nettinger (Hansi Zacher) and her down-to-earth husband Franz Josef (Beppo Brehm), who rather looks after his rabbits than being bothered by his omnipresent wife. Emmi's plans to influence her daughter's and her future son-in-law's life even after the wedding is accidentally revealed to Albert and leads to quite some excitement on the wedding day.
This amusing and entertaining 1985 German theater conversion is based on the original play "Sailor, beware!" by Philip King and Falkland Cary, initially produced in 1955. Famous German popular theater stars like Hansi Zacher and Beppo Brehm are driving this turbulent story to the climax, supported by today's TV stars like Horst Kummeth (Forsthaus Falkenau) and Christine Neubauer. A comedian highlight is Margot Mahler as Franz Josef's niece Edeltraud. Her running gag, putting hot dishes and pots on Emmi's carefully polished sideboard, is gorgeous to watch over and over again.
