4 out of 6 people found the following comment useful :- HUNGARIAN HOTCHPOT GONE BAD, 11 July 1999
Author:
jan onderwater from Amsterdam, The Netherlands
In 1955 Kurt Hoffmann made his charming "Ich denke oft an Piroschka",
based
on the novel by Hugo Hartung. The credits of "Ferien mit Piroschka" say
that
motives of Hartung's novel were used again, but this is just not true: the
makers only used the name Piroschka (and gave it to a doll!) and probably
hoped to use Hoffmann"s film as a recommendation for their own. They came
up
with an incredibly "dis-charming" film, a hotchpot of romance, farce,
German
arrogance (tourists in Hungary), Nazi presence in Hungary, the cold war
etc.
etc., without all this ever being an unity. It is badly acted, directed
and
edited, with Götz George in another of his bad parts and director's wife
Tordai a very boring female lead. Nice gypsy music and dances cannot save
the viewer from getting drunk on plenty of Hungarian wine to endure this
film.
