About Die Pianolastory
An old man (Hugo Haas) was evicted from his flat. His most treasured possession is an old mechanical piano - a pianola. He finds the seized instrument again, steals it back and makes his way through Vienna.
Directed by Gerhard Bohner, Die Pianolastory leans on a strong ensemble — Hugo Haas, Kurt Sobotka, Gerhard Steffen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1966.
