About Mein Vater, der Affe und ich
On his way to Vienna, veterinarian Klaus Wolf meets Biggi, a hitchhiker. Klaus is supposed to examine rhinos in Vienna, but with a monkey addicted to alcohol and other animal problems, Klaus has enough on his plate. He finds it rather inappropriate that he now also has Biggi on his hands. But he soon discovers a new, shy soul who is not as unsuitable as he initially thought.
Directed by Franz Antel, Mein Vater, der Affe und ich leans on a strong ensemble — Gerhart Lippert, Mascha Gonska, Gunther Philipp — 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 1971.
