About Wie die Weltmeister
Franz Bielek is a bailiff by conviction. However, his overzealousness is increasingly a thorn in the side of his superiors, so they transfer him from the provinces to Munich without further ado. Overwhelmed by the big city, Bielek no longer collects a single mark and is sent to Berlin for further training.
Directed by Klaus Lemke, Wie die Weltmeister leans on a strong ensemble — Wolfgang Fierek, Cleo Kretschmer, Sibylle Rauch — 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.
