synopsis
Twice Wedding is the literally translated title of this German comedy. Sure enough, the story deals with a double wedding -- not two couples at once, but the same couple on two different occasions. Lian Haid and Ralph A. Roberts, both of whom continued to enjoy movie success throughout the early 1930s, are the stars. Comedy relief is provided by Szoeka Szakall, who likewise continued to flourish in films, albeit in Hollywood, under the new moniker of S. Z. Sakall. Curiously, Zweimal Hochzeit does not show up on the "official" list of Sakall's films -- at least, not under that title.
