Ak Okos Mama (Wise Mamma) was adapted from a Hungarian stage play by Bela Szenes. Emmy Kosary plays the title character, a former actress who has retired to raise a family. She "returns" to acting to solve the matrimonial travails of her two daughters, adopting a series of guises and disguises to set things right. As a bonus, she manages to land a husband for her youngest, unmarried daughter. Critics in 1934 felt that Emmy Kosary wasn't quite as effective as the stage version's Sari Fedak. This sounds a bit like a "claque" at work, though it's hard to tell from the vantage point of six decades.
