Deutsche Komödien der 80er: "Männer"

The successful film by Doris Dörrie is part of the film series on German comedies of the 1980s:

MÄNNER

DEU 1985. D: Doris Dörrie. D: Heiner Lauterbach, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Ulrike Kriener, Janna Marangosoff, Dietmar Bär, Edith Volkmann. 99 min.

Advertising manager Julius - who is having an affair with his secretary - is shocked when he learns that his wife has a lover. His rival Stefan is completely different from yuppie Julius: a freelance artist without any ambition! Julius seeks revenge: he moves in with Stefan as his flatmate "Daniel" and begins to transform the self-confessed late hippie into a success story. A friendship between the two is inevitable - but Julius doesn't give up on his goal of winning Paula back.
MÄNNER reached an audience of six million; Doris Dörrie thus laid the foundation for her own highly successful career, for that of her actors Heiner Lauterbach and Uwe Ochsenknecht (who grew up in Mannheim!) - and for the comedy boom of the 1990s.
