- Synopsis
- Feature film musical comedy inspired by Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor. The plot concerns the romance between Viennese official Leitner (Hörbiger) and vaudeville headliner Theresa Zalenka (Milowich). Leitner’s ten daughters disapprove of the union and intend to teach their father a lesson. The girls form a vaudeville act of their own, threatening to continue until their father breaks it off with Theresa. A subplot concerns the girls’ dancing teacher (Forst) and his sweetheart (Parry), who is jealous of all ten ‘merry wives’.
