It's an "Euridyce rescues Orpheus" story - Teutonic style.
Marianne Sagebrecht is stunning as the dumpy, overweight, mortician's assistant, drably commuting via subway, until she hears "that voice".Well, it happens to belong to the hunky young conductor casually announcing the various stops, and before you know it - she's tracking [stalking?] this guy, studying his eating habits, etc.......One evening on impulse,she buys him a candybar [his favourite] from an underground vending machine AND the rest is almost history.
Complications? Quite a few, but our heroine does her best and there is that transformation and THAT dinner preparation, with aftermath - funny and moving - shades of Billy Wilder's touch there.
There's also an odd twist to this original version.... slightly darker than the USA TV version.Almost a feel-good movie from Percy Adlon - who afterwards brought us "Bagdad Cafe" ["Out of Rosheim"] a real feel-good experience, also with Miss Sagebrecht -both worth watching!
