About Der Heiratsschwindler und seine Frau
Marriage swindler Herbert Krugschenk is a master of his trade. His success is based on meticulous planning, and his wife "Schnuck" is responsible for this. Herbert's life is promptly turned upside down when she dumps him one day. At least the way is now clear for the big coup that his wife has always warned him about: Herbert and his son travel to Switzerland to make a pass at rich widows and fail all along the line.
Directed by Manfred Stelzer, Der Heiratsschwindler und seine Frau leans on a strong ensemble — Armin Rohde, Detlev Buck, Gisela Schneeberger — 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 2012.
