About Die Perle der Karibik
Representative Diethard has given up. There is nothing left for the 40-year-old on the German marriage market. So he chooses an exotic woman from the catalog, has her flown in and marries her. But everyday life with Beanboat is disappointing...
Directed by Manfred Stelzer, Die Perle der Karibik leans on a strong ensemble — Diethard Wendtland, Alisa Saltzman, Alfred Edel — 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 1981.
