Its militaristic title notwithstanding, Schlachet von Bademuende (The Battle of Bademuende) is actually a comedy. The story is set at a summer resort, where soldiers and sailors on leave duke it out over the affections of the local females. The film concludes with a bathing-beauty contest, which in addition to displaying ample feminine pulchritude also serves as an excuse for another knock-down, drag-out fight. Newcomer Claire Rommer plays the heroine and though she's quite attractive, her inexperience lessens the impact of her performance. Far better suited is that stellar Teutonic farceur Max Adelbert, who could probably have gotten laughs by reading the Berlin telephone book.
