What happens

A Flea in Her Ear (German: Floh im Ohr) is a 1943 German comedy film directed by Paul Heidemann and starring Lotte Rausch, Sabine Peters and Edith Oß. It was shot at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Artur Nortmann and Gabriel Pellon. Rather than being based on the 1907 farce A Flea in Her Ear by Georges Feydeau, it is instead adapted from a play by Friedrich Hedler. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
