The "Weekend in Paradise" of the title is predicated on an extended case of mistaken identity. Some of the gags and comic situations date back as far as Plautus, but this doesn't make them any less funny. It helps that the cast is filled to the brim with talented farceurs, from Julius Falkenstein on down. The direction is by Robert Land, who always managed to improve his material with above-average cinematography (courtesy of cameraman Willy Goldberger and Robert Lach) and sound recording (Carlo Paganini). Week-End im Paradies was adapted from the stage play of the same name by the original author, Ernst Neubach.
