Synopsis of Ein Ganzer Kerl
Herman Speelmans plays the title character in the German comedy Ein Ganzer Kerl (A Regular Fellow). The plot is hardly new: young go-getter Karl Grosse (Speelmans) bluffs his way into a big-time business firm, rescuing the organization from bankruptcy with his brash, bold new ideas. He also wins the boss' daughter, played by Lien Deyer. But for its setting, a German sausage factory, and the Teutonic character names, Ein Ganzer Kerl could have been a typical get-rich-quick Hollywood comedy, ideally suited for the likes of James Cagney or Robert Young. Like many German comedies of the 1930s, Ein Ganzer Kerl was designed to keep the viewer's minds off their problems, so all temptations to propagandize on behalf of the Third Reich are avoided. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
