Der Hampelman (The Puppet) is an adaptation of the stage operetta by Gustav Beer and Fritz Lunzer. Max Hansen stars as impoverished Baron Max von Storch, who falls in love with Liesl (Lien Deyers), the young wife of an elderly perfume manufacturer (Szoeke Szakall, aka S. Z. Sakall). When he discovers that the husband has purchased a life-sized puppet for Liesl's amusement, Max is struck with a brilliant idea. Posing as the puppet, he gains access to Liesl's boudoir -- and after that, "Ach du lieber!" Der Hampelman includes a score by Robert Stoltz, of Two Hearts in Waltz-Time fame. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
