What happens

The Schimeck Family (German: Familie Schimek) is a 1957 Austrian comedy film directed by Georg Jacoby and starring Theo Lingen, Fita Benkhoff and Helga Neuner. The film's sets were designed by the art director Leo Metzenbauer. It is loosely based on the play of the same title by Gustaf Kadelburg, which had previously been adapted into a 1935 German film The Schimeck Family. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
