What happens

Tante Trude aus Buxtehude ("Aunt Trude from Buxtehude") is a 1971 West German comedy film directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb and starring Rudi Carrell, Ilja Richter and Theo Lingen. It was one of several German films in the wake of the 1959 film Some Like It Hot that used cross-dressing as a comic theme. The film's sets were designed by Eberhard Schröder. Some of the film was shot in the Austrian city of Salzburg. It features a number of songs performed by leading German Schlager music singers of the era. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
