There seems to be no end to the Don Camillo like Hochwürden series (did the French series ever got credit for this?), and by now it has found refuge as a made-for-tv film; at least we are rid of Georg Thomalla. But it is not any better (how could it?) than its predecessors, nor did the makers even try for a moment to add something new. We see the same story of the old Hochwürden films with new actors and actresses with a more modern flavour. Well, modern, even here there is a grown-up daughter who is not allowed to marry the man of her choice (is this 1993?).The title is very peculiar as after an hour or so and then only for a very short time something happens that has got anything to do with the title. I just want to say: this is that a bad film that even the choice of the title went wrong. Cast and directing are simply below standard.
