Schoen ist die Maneoverzeit (Beautiful Maneuver Time) is the sort of military comedy that bred like minks in the early-talkie German cinema. A bunch of handsome soldiers who sing and joke a lot, fall for a bunch of beautiful girls, who sing and joke a lot. By film's end, practically everyone has proposed to everyone else. In the midst of all this youth, charm and beauty, Ida Wuerst offers some welcome "ugly relief" in the role of a dour old Baroness. If there was a single cliché left unturned in Schoen ist die Manoeverzeit, the critics in 1932 couldn't find it.
