About Frauenarzt Dr. Prätorius
In the face of two world wars, Professor Prätorius, a philanthropist and a surgeon, wants to exterminate the one danger to mankind, the microbe of stupidity, as he states in a spontaneous lecture to his male and female students. When he tries to help a pregnant girl he gets involved more and more in her life and is forced to marry her.
Directed by Curt Goetz, Karl Peter Gillmann, Frauenarzt Dr. Prätorius leans on a strong ensemble — Curt Goetz, Valerie von Martens, Albert Florath — 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 1950.
