What happens

The Merry Vineyard (German: Der fröhliche Weinberg) is a 1927 German silent comedy film directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starring Rudolf Rittner, Camilla Horn and Lotte Neumann. It was based on a play by Carl Zuckmayer, and was remade in 1952 as a sound film. The playwright had strong reservations about having his work translated on screen but never opposed any film adaptation. The film's art direction was by Oscar Friedrich Werndorff.
