About Taxi to Cairo
Frank and his S&M partner are surprised by Frank's harridan mother when she walks in on the pair in an amorous clinch. Frank's mother threatens to disinherit her son if he does not settle down and get married. Frank hires the actress Klara to pose as his wife, and the pair moves into a quaint country house. Soon the newly weirds are both after their handsome neighbour Eugen. Frank becomes confused when he feels he may be falling for his first female.
Directed by Frank Ripploh, Taxi to Cairo leans on a strong ensemble — Frank Ripploh, Christine Neubauer, Udo Schenk — 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 1987.
