Ernst Lubitsch staged his version of the comedy as a rural version of ‘The Taming of the Shrew’: innkeeper Mathias Kohlhiesel wants to marry off his two unequal daughters - the prickly Liesl and the pretty Gretl. Xaver and Seppl both try to woo Gretl, but father Kohlhiesel wants to get his older daughter married first. Daredevil Xaver marries Liesl - initially just to get his hands on Gretl, but in the course of his unusual and successful re-education measures, he falls in love with her. And now that Xaver has found happiness with the transformed Liesl, the shy Seppl can marry his Gretl.
Directed by Ernst Lubitsch, DE 1920, 65 minutes, with Henny Porten, Emil Jannings, Gustav von Wangenheim, Jakob Tiedtke
