... und sowas muß um 8 ins Bett

The kind-hearted but awkward Dr. Eduard Frank is reassigned to a girls' boarding school in Carinthia, where lively pupils and a handful of mischievous aristocrats quickly unsettle his orderly routines. The students, led by the clever Princess Margret, unleash a string of pranks that stretch his patience while the more conservative women on the faculty offer little help. The only colleague who shows warmth is the energetic sports teacher Angelika, and Margret seizes on that sympathy by staging a mock romantic scene to provoke reactions. Between slapstick incidents, musical numbers and classroom chaos, Dr. Frank must manage youthful rebellion, school expectations and his own modesty without revealing how events unwind. He must balance professionalism with unexpected warmth and mild embarrassment.

Directed by Werner Jacobs and released in 1965, the film stars Peter Alexander and the young Gitte Hænning. It's a German-language musical comedy typical of popular mid 1960s West German cinema, combining cheerful song numbers with light romantic farce and school-based gags.

Box office records are sparse for this regional release; it didn't register major international earnings. At the time it catered mainly to German-speaking audiences in its domestic market, benefiting from the popularity of its lead performers rather than blockbuster ticket sales.

Critical reaction has been modest, contemporary reviews treated it as lightweight entertainment rather than serious cinema, and its low vote average on some small sites today reflects that. The film leans on themes of adolescence and authority, comic misunderstandings, and the contrast between polite adult restraint and rowdy schoolgirl antics, all framed around musical interludes.

While not widely known outside German-language circles, the picture helped consolidate Peter Alexander's image as a genial musical comedian and gave Gitte Hænning added screen visibility. It survives mainly through TV reruns and nostalgia programming, where its songs and schoolboy-girl skirmishes still evoke the lighter side of 1960s popular film today.
