What happens
My Daughter Lives in Vienna (German: Meine Tochter lebt in Wien) is a 1940 German comedy film of mistaken identities (comedy of errors) directed by E. W. Emo and starring Elfriede Datzig, Annie Rosar, Hans Moser, and O. W. Fischer. Dialog and acting are fast paced before a somewhat serious backdrop of marital infidelity, parental authority, and lust with considerable wordplay ("Klaghofer"; "my daughter is my lost son") and excellent cutting and performances. Wartime propaganda purposes are served by some sentimentality, a superficially harmonious ending, while explicit Nazi ideology is absent. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
