Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Austrian songfest Ideale Frau Gesucht (Ideal Girl Wanted) was tailored specifically to the talents of the popular Wolf Albach-Retty. This time, Albach-Retty plays magazine publisher Robby Holm, engaged in a circulation war with beautiful rival Irene Martens (Inge Eggar). A publicity stunt revolving around an "ideal woman" backfires, but that's not so bad since the end result is a lasting romance. The songs by Willi Berking are enjoyable, if not truly outstanding. In America, Ideale Frau Gesucht enjoyed a modicum of success in the existing German-language "kinos."
