Schützenliesel is a 1954 West German period comedy film directed by Rudolf Schündler and starring Herta Staal, Helmuth Schneider and Joe Stöckel.[1] It is based on an operetta of the same title. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in West Berlin and on location at Mittenwald, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Lautersee in Bavaria. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Karl Weber and Helmut Nentwig.

Synopsis

[edit]

In a small Bavarian town at the beginning of the twentieth century, pretty young Gretl is in love with a border guard despite the disapproval of her father. He resents the young man because he is the son of a woman who once spurned him. Things come to a head at the Schützenfest, after the guard courageously rounds up a gang of smugglers.
