Unsere tollen Tanten

With rumbling stomachs and no engagement, musicians Pit, Max, Bill, Gus, Eddi, and Giorgio are on their way to visit their Uncle Hermann, who runs a sports school on Lake Wörthersee. Along the way, they meet the charming teenagers Susi, Evi, Sieglinde, Inez, and Francis, who are on their way to a girls' boarding school. A strict boarding school where male visits are, of course, frowned upon. So the musicians dress up in drag and visit their friends disguised as 'aunts and cousins.' And, as expected, things soon go haywire.

Directed by Rolf Olsen, Unsere tollen Tanten leans on a strong ensemble — Gunther Philipp, Gus Backus, Bill Ramsey — 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 1961.
