Regina Ziegler is known for producing lots of excellent TV movies about WW II and the post war years in Germany.
This little gem is very well-done and deserves 9 stars in the IMDb as I haven't found many other German productions as innovative and hilarious, at the same time showing how hard times were in 1947 two years after the war was over.
Three sisters played by wonderful actress Barbara Rudnik (Nora) who died way too young, Karoline Eichhorn (Freya) and Mavie Hoerbiger (Gudrun) live in a small German town which is occupied by the Americans. They sing in the choir at church and mind their own business.
The second sister (Eichhorn) plans her marriage to US Colonel Bellmont played by Horst Buchholz' son Christopher Buchholz. The wedding is supposed to take place on the next day. The oldest is in love with a Jewish man who plans to immigrate to Israel and the youngest has one night stands. She's the rebel in the family (the parents are dead).
ATTENTION!!! SPOILER!!!
The wedding dress gets wrecked, the Nora has to find a replacement and while she is out, a man enters the house to blackmail Freya with photos he has taken that show her in a rather embarrassing situation way back in 1944.
Pay attention to the wedding details, it's getting very hilarious.
