Nachts im Gruenen Kakadu translates roughly to At Green Cockatoo at Night. The titular bird isn't a "who" but a "what": the Green Cockatoo is a fancy nightclub, inherited by a "Miss Manners" type named Irene Wagner (Marika Roekk). Unfortunately, Irene has also inherited the nightclub's mounting debts. Unable to hire entertainment, our heroine is obliged to do all the singing and dancing herself. All of which was just fine for the many fans of veteran German-Hungarian musical comedy star Marika Roekk, for whom Nachts im Gruenen Kakadu was a long-awaited comeback. The film was directed by Frau Roekk's husband, George Jacoby.
