Schloss Gripsholm (1963)

Synopsis of Schloss Gripsholm

Co-produced and directed by Kurt Hoffmann, one of Germany's most prolific post-war directors, this drama was based on a popular novel by Kurt Tucholsky. Lydia and Kurt, a young couple from Hamburg, travel to Sweden for the holidays and stay at the well-known Gripshom Castle. There they are joined by Kurt's friend Karlchen and later by Lydia's friend, Billie--each of whom flirts with his/her friend's companion. The screenplay, by Herbert Reinecker, retains much of the original dialogue by Tucholsky--a strong point in the film as Tucholsky was known particularly for his witty and intelligent use of language, though much may be lost in translation. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi
