Viktor und Viktoria (1933) Reinhold Schünzel
Yesterday I watched this fluffy and naughty German musical which was remade later in England under the title, First a Girl (1935) with Jessie Matthews and of course, more famously by Blake Edwards as Victor Victoria (1982) with Julie Andrews & James Garner.
First of all, I must admit that my German is quite non-extant! But nevertheless, I wanted to see the original version of Victor Victoria and plodded in... The star of the film is Renate Müller (Susanne) who is doing a really good job at impersonating a man in drag. Her partner Viktor Hempel (Hermann Thiming) is a complete ham and we see him sweating away at an audition, chewing the scenery in such a way as to make Emil Jannings an understated actor....

Adolf Wohlbrück (later renamed Anton Walbrook) plays the charmer who takes her to a seedy bar where a browl errupt (like in the Edwards remake).
Overall quite charming with lots of songs. I just wished I could have gotten every word!!!
