About Zu zweit (k)ein Problem
Karlheinz Liebtraut and his daughter Elke live under the same roof, but they keep secret romantic lives they're nervous to reveal to one another. Karlheinz reacts to any man courting Elke with blunt expulsions, while their neighbor Mrs. Seidenglanz tries, with little success, to smooth things over. Misunderstandings pile up as Elke pretends her partner is an electrician to avoid her father's wrath, and hidden aspects of Karlheinz's own life complicate matters. When a woman named Paula arrives, household relations shift and the tangled web of deceptions begins to unwind, leading to a series of comic confrontations and reconciliations without giving away how everything resolves.
Directed by Christa Kulosa and released in 1977, the film is a German-language comedy featuring Heinz Rennhack as Hanspeter Putzke, Evamaria Bath as Fräulein Krauslein, Irene Fischer as Simone Helmchen, Marianne Kiefer as Frau Seidenglanz, and Wolfgang Penz as Alfons Mosemann.
Critical documentation for the movie is scarce, and public score listings show a vote average of 0.0 from zero votes, indicating it hasn't been widely reviewed or rated in major databases. The film leans on broad situational humor, focusing on generational clash, paternal protectiveness, and the farcical results of pretending to be someone you're not, rather than on subtle dramatic development.
The movie didn't become a landmark in popular culture, but it preserves a particular strain of 1970s domestic comedy, with stock characters like the overbearing father and meddlesome neighbor. Its scenes of mistaken identity and awkward introductions are familiar comedic beats, and it may appeal to viewers interested in period social mores and lighthearted misunderstandings.
There are no records of major awards or festival prizes associated with this title in commonly consulted sources. Available listings do not indicate Oscar, Golden Globe, or major festival nominations, suggesting it remained a modest, regionally circulated comedy rather than a decorated film.
