The German playwrighting team Arnold and Bach were the collective Neal Simon of their time, turning out one successful stage comedy after another. Hurra - ein Junge! is a typical Arnold-Bach melange of infidelity, mistaken identity and punctured pomposity. The situations surrounding the birth of the heroine's child sparks a maelstrom of slapstick, coming to a hilarious head just a few moments before the final fadeout. Critics found the picture "grotesque," audiences found it side-splittingly funny. The best performances were rendered by Ralph A. Roberts and Max Adelbert, two veterans of many a previous Arnold-Bach collaborations. Director: Ernst Marischka. Cast: Adrian Hoven, Theo Lingen. Black & White. No subtitles. Notes: ZDF, 21.12.97. Black&White. Country: West Germany. No Subtitles.
