What happens
The Model Husband (German: Der Mustergatte) is a 1937 German comedy film directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner and starring Heinz Rühmann, Leny Marenbach, and Hans Söhnker. It is based on a 1915 American play Fair and Warmer by Avery Hopwood. It was shot at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Otto Gülstorff and Hans Minzloff. The film was screened at the Venice Film Festival where it won an award.
