The Darling of Vienna

Der Herr auf Bestellung has the Weimar dream team of Walter Reisch as scriptwriter Geza von Bolvary as director and most importantly the incomparable Willi Forst as main actor This musical burlesque tells about a stylish young gentleman Willi Forst who works as a socalled Festredner an untranslatable term it indicates a person who makes speeches at important events like marriages etc for people who dont feel able to do it themselves Willi lends his voice to a speechimpaired professor Paul Hörbiger but the baroness Trude Lieske who falls in love with Hörbiger only does so because of Willis voice and you can guess that this leads to all sorts of complications
