About Az ördög nem alszik
Count Gedeon Boroghy would like to see his last two relatives, Peter and Eva, married, so that the family fortune can pass to their rightful heirs without dissipation. The Count would like to bring them together, so he announces his own death and stipulates in his will that the heirs must stay at the castle for a month, eat together and kiss each other goodbye. The young people, who have already fallen out during their journey, hatch a variety of plans to force the other to break the will and thus lose the inheritance. When it turns out that Uncle Gideon is alive and the will no longer stands between them, they reconcile and agree to comply with the old count's wishes even without an inheritance.
Directed by Viktor Bánky, Az ördög nem alszik leans on a strong ensemble — Gyula Csortos, Miklós Hajmássy, Klári Tolnay — 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 1941.
